(Minghui.org) It has been 26 years since July 20, 1999. The practitioners who were little Dafa disciples back then have grown up and become middle-aged practitioners. I am in my forties and have been practicing Falun Dafa since I obtained the Fa in junior middle school. Many of the young practitioners who grew up with me and obtained the Fa around the same time as me have given up cultivation or no longer cultivate diligently. Only a few still do the three things daily. Theoretically, young and middle-aged practitioners should be the main force in clarifying the truth to society because they are well-educated, more news sensitive, and know more about social issues and topics. But in reality, those who have done the three things well and clarify the truth to people in person well are the elderly female practitioners. We still rely on our parents’ generation.

Everyday people are currently disgusted with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). I saw with my third eye that the mark of the beast imprints on the foreheads of those who made evil vows to the Party have become less obvious and the black substances around them has become less dense. The separation the old forces had forged is gradually losing its effectiveness. This is demonstrated in this dimension when everyday people curse at the CCP when they mention the CCP’s corruption, the economic recession, the job market, organ transplants, unfinished buildings, outrageously expensive earrings, and arrogant elites.

We should ask ourselves how much effort we have put into bringing about the current state of Fa-rectification? How much have we sacrificed to achieve everyday people’s current changes? Have we been waiting and relying on the diligent Dafa practitioners and the Fa’s power to bring about such achievements?

When all everyday people have awakened and recognize the evil nature of the CCP and the facts of Falun Dafa, it will be the time that the diligent Falun Dafa practitioners reach the goal of cultivation. We won’t have any opportunities to catch up then. So young and middle-aged practitioners, especially those who obtained the Fa at a young age, please hurry up, cultivate diligently, and grasp every opportunity to clarify the truth to people.

I think that young and middle-aged practitioners should break through the following notions that prevent them from the doing three things well.

First is the issue of genuine belief. We should ask ourselves if we believe in Master and the Fa 100 percent. Do we believe Master’s every word? For example, do we believe that there are that many levels of dimensions in a grain of sand, as Master mentioned when discussing the three thousand worlds in Zhuan Falun? Do we ever doubt it because we cannot see it or feel it? Master said that time was really tight for Fa-rectification in his various lectures. Do we doubt it because we have waited 26 years in the Fa-rectification period and wavered in our belief in Master? Our doubt is an illusion that the evil has forged using our notions and attachments. It is not our true thoughts. Our lives come from the Fa and were made and forged by the Fa. How could our true selves be blinded by vicious illusions? How could a child doubt their parents’ words?

Master said,

“Enlightening comes before seeing. Cultivate your mind and eliminate your karma. Once your original nature comes forth you will be able to see.” (“Why One Cannot See,” Essentials for Further Advancement)

First and foremost, we must believe Master’s every word and every sentence.

The second issue is being busy. We are busy at work and at home. Many middle-aged practitioners are managers at work and the bread winners in their families. They are busy both at work and at home. They feel that they don’t have much spare time. When they come home from work, they just want to relax and don’t want to do anything or any of the three things that we should do as practitioners. We should know what is most important. Should we live a wonderful life, or should we wake up from the illusions? In the final leg of the Fa-rectification, we should know what we really want and we should make Dafa work our priority. In the personal cultivation period, our karma might have caused us to be busy. But during the Fa-rectification period, being busy is interference from the evil. The evil interferes with us through personal interests and emotion.

The third issue is spending too much time scrolling on our cell phones. We spend every spare minute scrolling on our cell phones and watching short videos. We cannot sleep well when our cell phones are not within reach. When we accidentally come across a news piece or a TikTok story, all its content and the notions behind it will be stored in other dimensions and foster demons, and cause our postnatal notions to grow stronger and stronger. It eventually might control you to do bad things.

Some practitioners disregard safety. They install all sorts of apps, such as WeChat, Dingding etc. They have their cell phones with them when they meet other practitioners, endangering other practitioners and themselves. They think that they are safe because they haven’t been arrested by the police. They think nothing will happen as long as their cell phones are switched off. They are obsessed with the short videos that enlarge their notions.

The fourth issue is saving face. Some practitioners don’t attend group Fa study, or only read the Fa but don’t put the Fa principles into practice, or simply gave up cultivation. But they still try to put on airs around other practitioners that they practice diligently despite being very busy with work. They are actually cheating themselves. Some practitioners get along very well with their colleagues and their colleagues respect them, but they are afraid to clarify the truth to them. This good environment is created by Dafa, but they give up opportunities due to their notions, being afraid of losing face. They have become prisoners of their notions.

Young and middle-aged practitioners shouldn’t be attached to fame and personal interests and get lost in everyday people’s notions. We should take advantage of our strengths and do the three things well. We are highly educated. We should study the Fa well and have a better understanding of the Fa. We have a clear understanding of current affairs. We should eliminate the evil with focused minds when sending forth righteous thoughts. We communicate with young people and elderly people more easily, as we are in the middle, so it is easier for us to clarify the truth to people and save sentient beings. Some practitioners have expertise in their industries. We should develop our own ways to validate the Fa. Falun Dafa gives us wisdom, skills, family, work, health, and hobbies. We should take advantage of these and do the three things well.

Master said,

“There is a requirement in Dafa disciples' cultivation, namely, you have to save sentient beings and validate the Fa.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Meeting on Writing Music,” Teaching the Fa at the Discussion on Writing Music and Creating Fine Art)

I was initially afraid of clarifying the truth to people, but I was gradually able to do it. When I let go of the notion of “I must do it to a certain degree” I had a breakthrough in clarifying the truth to people. I believe that I should do it earlier rather than later, and do something rather than nothing.

I chat with people about hot topics such as current affairs, the CCP’s corruption, and news scandals before I clarify the truth about Falun Dafa to them. I normally begin my conversation by saying “The economy is bad. Our salaries are not guaranteed nowadays.” This resonates with people. They will talk to you. I then gradually switch topics to the CCP’s fake news and how it forces people to swear allegiance to it and reaffirm their CCP membership oaths from time to time. Everyday people know that they shouldn’t take that oath casually. I then suggest that they withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations to denounce their oath. Most of them agree to quit the CCP. If you feel that they are really good, you can continue clarifying the truth about Falun Dafa to them. You can tell them about Falun Dafa from a third party angle. You can say something like “My previous classmate (or neighbor) practiced Falun Dafa and was persecuted by the CCP…” If you feel you are afraid to bring up this topic, then you can ask them to withdraw from the CCP first. If you are afraid of mentioning quitting the CCP, you can chat with them about news scandals more and lay a good foundation for the second step of truth clarification.

Falun Dafa practitioners should play the leading roles in society. Young and middle-aged practitioners should utilize the wisdom and power we have gained from the Fa to assist Master in Fa-rectification and complete our prehistoric vows.
