Teaching Given On Occasion of Starting the Spreading of the Law
Hello everyone,
The karmic ties that brought you all here, in this special historical period of spreading the cosmic Law, the great adversity that you all had to overcome, all of this is unprecedented. In history there were many great enlightened beings that taught the world’s people how to cultivate and return back to heaven. This time around it is different. What I am doing is different from what was done in the past. Our mission is to save people. To offer salvation to all is the greatest act of compassion a divine being can do. The three realms, this space exists outside of the primordial matter of cosmos.
The environment humans experience is a construct, an illusion created by Gods at very high levels, to safeguard the principles that this cyclical system bears to allow for the return of Divine Beings. To reincarnate as a human being, to come to this world is not a simple undertaking. Especially in this special kalpa of light, the requirements, complexity and missions of reborn beings are not a simple matter of human wants and desires. Coming to this world a human being becomes lost in the maze of material existence. By commiting all kinds of bad deeds, his ability to enlighten shrinks. As a result he experiences all kinds of difficulties. To return to his original self a being must cultivate in this complex human environment.
The persecution is relentless. From the day one, of establishing this system, from the day of starting to spread the Law, we experienced all kinds of tribulations. Some of these came from other dimensions as well. The time-space continuum is especially demanding on a person starting to cultivate. All kinds of beings, from the lowest of realms, to the high Gods are trying to impart various messages and ideas onto every practitioner. As a result of this a person is thrown into a chaos. This chaotic state is not only reflected in the mind, but in the outward manifestations as well. All kinds of situations emerge and it is the discerning mind that should take control of the execution of possible realities. All of this is very hard, but at the same time requires utmost care. The complexity might seem endless. All of this requires special attention, an environment free of major distractions. The tying and untying of the knots of destiny, various predestined karmic ties, forgotten memories, the cration of personal histories and at the higher levels creation of whole groups of people, societies, nations, divine beings and other cosmic entities of the future. Of course, these things belong to the future and haven’t happened yet, so don’t worry, we’ll be sure to get there in time.
An ordinary being wants to live an easy, carefree life, isn’t it so? You want to be like an ordinary person. To enjoy life, to take it easy. I never said you should take it easy. At the same, try not to bother your minds too much with the details. There will be ample time to solve the details in the future.
Whole world is watching the unfolding of these events. Can this Law hold ground in the cosmos? The mighty virtue from clarifiyng the truth is not reserved only for the next life. As practitioners we should strive to reach Consummation as soon as possible, so the question of the next reincarnation will not be present. To descend to an ordinary world, to lead people of the world in this fashion is different from how ordinary people go about doing things. For example an ordinary person, just as he exits the house, he forgets everything. His mind is blank. It is the same with some of our practitioners also, after the meditation is over, bang, straight back to the mode of ordinary person. All of what has one enlighten to is gone in an instant. These insights are the bearings on which other, more complex ideas are built upon. Some might say, “I am not pursuing the unlocking of gong. I need to act normal, in accord with ordinary human society, to provide for my family. The enlightenment you talk about is a gradual enlightenment. I will enlighten in an instant and all of what I cultivated will be available for me at that instant.” It is true, actually a lot of individuals might be enlightened this way. What we are talking about here are supernatural abilites, divine powers of the Law. Some of these exist in the human body and some of these exist outside of the body. Practitioners will eventually understand how to cultivate them and use them.
Some say the persecution is the result of too many people enlightened at various levels. It is not so. The persecution came because people’s morals fell to a very low level. They could not comprehend what was happening and instead of calming their minds and taking the time to think things through they acted violently and rashly against practitioners. This is of course also true for those low level Gods and Divine beings, things established by the old forces, demons, ghosts and so on. They say they are doing it to test people when in fact it was their own things not reaching the necessary standards. Nevertheless in our compassion we offer even these beings a chance of salvation. It often means that we have to go a little bit out of our way in doing things. We should not go beyond the limits of forbearance.
The persecution is extremely severe. This is true in China, and in some other areas where the communist mentality is still strong. Try to clarify the truth with compassion to the world’s people. This is all I wanted to talk about today.
Thank you.

Q&A
Question: Can a student smoke an occasional cigarette?
Answer: What is this question? Of course our students are now allowed to smoke. You should not smoke while praying, but you can pray while smoking.
Question: Our children play videogames for hours on end. What should we do?
Answer: It is all right for children to play. Some of the games actually come from our practitioners and contain quite beautifull and advanced artwork. Of course our students should not play games. Try to limit the time children spend playing videogames. You should guide the children to higher principles and explain them things from the perspective of Law.
Question: We noticed some of our fellow practitioners still haven’t let go of their various attchaments. Some still drink coffee, or other caffeinated beverages or eat sweets. Should we point out to them their attachement sor what should we do in these cases?
Answer: It is true that some of our students have various gaps and are still not able to reach the standards of true cultivators. It is fine if you clarify to them things from inside of the Law. Of course in the course of cultivation, we should let go our addictions to various emotions and other incorrect psychological states of mind. These are beginnig level things. In the cases where this state continues for a long time, it is fine if you ignore them. Your understanding is solid and at a higher level. Point out to them their attachment and explain to them that caffeine is an addictive substance. But if they cannot let go of this attachment and this continues for a long time, nothing can be done. It is the human heart that has to change. Of course human is a sinner, incapable of ever changing his sinful nature. His only chance of salvation is the faith in divine. Next question.
Question: Sometimes, because of our status as cultivators of true Way, there are people who come to us with various problems and ask us to solve them, or decide who is in right and who’s wrong. Should we, as practitioners interfere in the state of ordinary human society this way?
Answer: You should not do that! There might be some people who believe in the Divine and come to you with their issues. You can clarify the facts about our excommunication from the larger community of Falun Gong to them, and if they persist and are really clueless, you can compassionately point them to the direction of virtues, faith and the divine. But between our students, this is not allowed. Every problem is an opportunity to cultivate and everyone should enlighten to their own things, on their own.
