There is sacrifice in forbearance. Being able to make sacrifices is an upgrade in one’s cultivation practice. The Fa has different levels. A cultivator’s understanding of the Fa is his understanding of the Fa at his cultivation level. Different cultivators understand the Fa differently because they are at different levels.

For cultivators at different levels, the Fa has different requirements. Sacrifice is evidenced by one’s being detached from an everyday person’s attachment. If a person can indeed calmly abandon everything with his heart being unmoved, he is actually at that level already. Yet cultivation practice is to upgrade yourself: You are already able to give up the attachment, so why not give up the fear of attachment, itself as well? Isn’t abandonment without omission a higher sacrifice? Yet if a cultivator or an everyday person who cannot even make fundamental sacrifices also discusses this principle, he is actually undermining the Fa by making an excuse for the attachment he cannot give up.
