Once a Falun Dafa practitioner asked Master Li:
"When Jesus Christ was nailed onto the cross, what were his students doing? ... Master Li, please pass on our message to all the people of the world and to the heaven, our Falun Dafa practitioners will never allow such a thing to happen." We still remember Master Li laughed at that time; so did practitioners. Master Li said, " Thank you!" Now today, such a thing is really happening. The Dafa is meeting the most vicious attacks in the human world. Our most respectful Master is slandered and sworn at... As Falun Dafa practitioners, what are we doing now?
Many Falun Dafa practitioners let go of life and death and go to Beijing one after another;
Many practitioners endure detention and brutal torture in order to validate Dafa; Many practitioners work their hearts out day and night and forget to eat and sleep in order to clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to the people of the world.
Then what are some practitioners still doing?
Are they waiting, "persisting in studying the Fa and doing the exercises" at home?
Moreover, some practitioners stick to their human thoughts and hence doubt Master Li's new articles and disbelieve Minghui. They are willing to be deceived by spies' lies, be moved by human thoughts and find all kinds of excuses to cover their own attachment of "fear".
"I feel sorry for those people who aren't able to step forward when facing the serious tests amidst the tribulations, and who use various excuses to disguise their fears. Moreover, with the craftiest human ways of thinking, they claim that to step forward is to get involved in politics, to fight with people, and so on. In addition to deceiving themselves with these excuses, they also try to make those who want to step forward waver. There are also some people who say, ..." These people even ignore Master Li's "Serious Teachings" with the excuses of disbelief of Minghui and "fake articles", etc..
Today, Master Li while overseas, still keeps thinking about the Falun Dafa practitioners in his hometown. The whole universe is shocked and conveys the greetings from Master Li to practitioners of Master Li's hometown! How much expectation, how much hope, how much implication that couldn't be expressed with language is all contained in this greeting!
Falun Dafa practitioners of Master Li's hometown --- What a solemn title that condenses so much predestined relationship, so many years' good fortunes and so many immortals' and gods' envy!
Think about how Master Li endures to balance the karmic debts we have owed in past lives at different levels?
Think about what the practitioners' paths, paved for us by Master Li, are composed of.
Shouldn't we examine our own conscience:
"With Teacher at the helm, the Fa saves all beings, One sail is hoisted, one hundred million sails follow." Have we hoisted our sail to assist Fa-rectification and defend Dafa?
"Have the wish to offer salvation to all beings, assist Master in the human world" Are we fulfilling our original promise?
"Come down to the human world with the same wishes, attain the Fa at first." During generation after generation of reincarnation, today have we missed the signs to attain the Fa that Master gave to us? Have we lost our true nature of Zhen-Shan-Ren" (Truth-Benevolence-Tolerance) before the attachment of "fear"?
Fellow practitioners in Master Li's hometown, have you come to understand Master Li's painstaking efforts?
Have you not seen Master Li devote everything to his disciples and he still waits; even his hair has turned white...?
Have you not seen fellow practitioners in prison are sending you their quiet words on the autumn wind? "I tell you, that evil force is actually powerless..."
Have you not seen that your families in heaven, your genuine parents, are expecting you and they have been preparing to greet your successful returning?
Have you not seen the whole universe and gods at various levels are waiting? "The new universe has been formed." Last several particles, please come back as soon as possible.
Those fellow practitioners who cannot step forward from humanness, Master Li is waiting, practitioners are waiting, the whole universe is waiting for you to wake up. The chance will only knock at the door once!
Please step forward as soon as possible! Please step forward from your humanness! In order to attain the Dafa, you have passed through so many generations. To practice cultivation, you have lived through the most difficult period and come very close to your own genuine home. Today the Fa-rectification in the universe has come to an end. All evil forces have been eliminated and only a few ignorant evil people are performing. Try to make use of this precious chance to cultivate yourselves! Don't lose your way back home forever just because of an irrational attachment of fear!
Fellow Falun Dafa practitioners of Master Li's hometown, we will only greet dawn if we can grasp the dark. Or if you don't appear in the dark, you won't have a position at daybreak!
