Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Gong, authorized the publication of his article "Why Humanity" was published on January 20, 2023. Here is the full text of the article, translated from Chinese:
Why is there humanity?
First of all on the occasion of the Chinese New Year congratulations to all!
The New Year is supposed to say a couple of New Year's greetings that people love to hear, but I see danger approaching humanity step by step. Therefore, the Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell the sentient beings of the world a few sentences that the gods wanted to say; every sentence is a divine plan, is to let people know the truth 1 , to give people the chance to be saved again.
Why is there humanity, the universe from birth to the end [ultimate] must go through a very long process of four stages of formation, destruction, destruction, and destruction. Once the universe reaches the end of the final "annihilation" process, everything in celestial 2 , including the universe in which we live, will be dissolved in an instant! All life [are] annihilated!
When a person dies, it is only the surface of the body that is decaying and aging, but one's primordial spirit (the 'me' 3 does not actually die) will be reincarnated into the next life. The universe has formation, destruction, destruction, human life, old age, sickness, and death, [that] is the law of the universe; God has the same process, just very long; The bigger the god, the longer it lasts. Their birth and death have no pain, and in the process, they are all sober, like changing an outer garment. So it is also said that life under normal circumstances will not die. But when the universe and celestial bodies dissolve into the final stage of destruction, decay, and destruction, the beings that no longer exist are reincarnated, and all beings and objects become non-existent and transformed. become dust, necessarily reduce to 'no' 4. At present, the main human world is going through the final process of "annihilation" of the city-swelling-destroying-annihilation. Everything in the end will turn into bad things, so there is 'annihilation'; That's why society is so messed up right now. People don't have good thoughts, 5 disorder , perverted mentality, harmful things 6 are rampant, they don't believe in God, and 7 [other] disorders arise all over the place; that's the natural thing of the end-time celestial body, that's the time has come!
Genesis 8 treasures the lives of Gods and many good and good beings and good creations in the celestial world, so at the beginning of the "ruin" period, led some Gods to the outermost layer of the universe. celestial bodies (collectively outside the 'Dharma') [where] godless land 9 , [which] created the Earth. The Earth cannot exist independently, there must be a 10 . periodic systemOnly if the beings and creatures are formed according to the celestial structure, the [Earth] can exist. Therefore, the Creator created a large periphery outside the Earth, which we called the "Three Realms". The time for final salvation has not yet come, [then] no matter how high the gods are, [if] there is no Creator's consent, [will] not be allowed to go in and out of the Three Realms at will. Within the Three Realms, there are three great precepts; beings on [ground] 11 including the human level called "Sex world"; above the Desire Realm is the second layer [called] "Form"; Up one more layer is the third layer [called] "The Formless Realm". The higher precepts are better, but they are not comparable to the heavenly kingdoms in the Dharma Realm and above the Dharma Realm. “Heaven” 12what humanity often says is actually the 'heaven' of the Formless Realm and the Formless Realm within the Three Realms. Since each precept has 10 heavens, [so] in the Three Realms there are a total of 33 heavens [due to] adding to the 3 precepts themselves. Humans in the Desire Realm, this is the lowest level, and the environment is also the fiercest. Life is hard and short 13 ; The scariest thing is that in the world, people don't have righteous thoughts, in the universe, human reason is antithetical (not counting the Law that God teaches people). For example: victors are victors, soldiers compete for the world, strongmen are heroes, etc. 14 In the eyes of the gods [it is] not righteous, they are all robbery and killing. Neither the universe nor the gods are like that, but in humans [it is] natural, reasonable 15; That is the reason of the human world, the "contradictory" to the reason of the universe; Therefore, if you want to return to heaven, you must "cultivate" according to the new principles. Some people have a slightly better [life] than others, and then they feel very good; That is, people compare people with people in this world, they are just living in the garbage heap of the universe. The Three Realms were [established] at the outermost layer of the celestial body, here made up of the lowest, largest, and dirtiest micromolecules, atoms, etc. In the eyes of the Gods [it is] a garbage dump. That's why the gods call this 16- molecule particle layer the dirt 17 , which is the lowest level; this is also the original meaning of the teaching in religion that “God used mud to create man”; is actually using the substance of the stratum composed of molecules to create man.
The Gods who created humans were [according to] the Creator's sending, telling different Gods to create people with different shapes according to their own shape; so there's the white race, there's the yellow race, there's the black race, and [other] races; it's just different looks; the inner life is granted by the Creator; So they all have the same value. The purpose of the Creation Lord told the gods to create humans to use when the end of the world saved all sentient beings, including the gods.
So why did the Creator tell us Gods created people in such low and fierce circumstances? Because this is the lowest level of the universe, the most miserable place; Only suffering can cultivate, suffering can destroy sins. In [that] suffering, someone who can maintain kindness, know how to repay kindness, and be a good person, [then] that is self-improvement. Besides, salvation is a bottom-up process, must start from the bottom. Life here is so miserable, between people there will be conflicts of interest; the natural environment is so fierce, people will have to exhaust themselves in order to survive, etc.; Both can give people the opportunity to enhance and destroy karma. Suffering can consume pity, that is certain; In the midst of suffering and conflict, a person who can still maintain kindness will accumulate merit, from which his life will be sublimated.
In the modern times when the Creator needed to use a human body to save cosmic beings, most of the lives inherent in the human body were reincarnated as a replacement by "Gods". Because the human body can be emptied of guilt in suffering, and at the same time, in [situations] where there is no righteousness, [but] can persist in upholding the truth that Gods tell us, and can also maintain kindness. achieve the elevation of life. The end of the world has come, the gate of heaven in the Three Realms has opened, the Creator has chosen this kind of person [for] salvation.
The cosmic bodies in the process of becoming, being, and being destroyed are all impure. They don't know how good the 'city' is in the beginning, so they go to 'destroy'. So it is also said that everything in the celestial body is bad and bad, sentient beings are no longer as good as they were in the beginning, sentient beings are also not pure anymore, all have bad karma, so they will 'destroy'. In religion, this kind of sin is called "original sin". Because in order to save the universe, the Creator told the gods, we came down to this situation as a human, to suffer, to promote, to eliminate sins, to renew 19recreate itself, from there return to heaven. (It's because when the Creator Lord saves people, he also regenerates the universe) the new celestial universe is absolutely pure and beautiful; in difficult circumstances one can maintain good thoughts; face the shock of modern conception, one can persist in traditional conception; in the shock of atheism, evolutionist 20 , it is still possible to believe in God; Such a person is to achieve the goal of being saved back to heaven. All chaos is God arranged in the end, the purpose is to test whether sentient beings can be saved, and at the same time, in this process can also destroy pity; Everything is to save people back to the heavenly world.
So in other words, human life in this world is not for the sake of achieving something in society. People's life struggles to fight, not from tricks, that can only make people bad. In the 21st century , being a human is to eliminate sins, and to cultivate oneself well as a goal. He came to earth to be saved, to wait for the Creator to save the heavens, so he [descended] as a human; while waiting for this life and other lives are accumulating merit, that is also the purpose of reincarnation people; The chaos is for the sake of accomplishing sentient beings. In addition, there are people who, when faced with difficulties, ask God for help, fail to achieve satisfaction, but begin to hate God, from which they turn to the anti-God side, even entering magic and creating new sins. Such a person [needs] to quickly turn back, ask God for forgiveness, turn to shore 22. Actually, everything in human life, [things] that should be or shouldn't be, are all in the previous life, the previous birth did good or bad things, but it became the cause and effect of the next life, the next birth; How much or how much merit accumulated in the previous life determines how much blessing this life or the next life is. Many blessings, the next life can be used to change the blessing to a high-ranking mandarin, can also be used to exchange for other kinds of blessings such as money, etc., including whether the family is happy or not, even how the children are. This is the root cause of [that] there are rich people, poor people, people who are high officials, and people who have no home to return to; not a set of demonic sayings that balance rich and poor as the evil communist party propagates. The universe is righteous, if life does good, it will have a reward, if it does bad, it will have to pay it back, if it doesn't pay in this life, it will pay it back in the next life; this is the Absolute Law of the universe! Heaven, Earth, God, the Creator is compassionate towards sentient beings; Heaven, Earth, Human, and God are all created by the Creator, and will never be good to this life and not good to other beings. Cause and effect, that is the basic cause of a happy or unlucky person's life.
The expression of gain and loss, in reality, is normal in society, basically, it is one's own life that creates pre-cause and consequence 23. But whether or not, gain or lose, in the manifestation of human society is consistent with the state of human society; Therefore, in this world, whether you live rich or poor, you must do good, don't do bad, maintain kindness, respect God, honor God, and happily help people. In this way, you will accumulate blessings, and you will have blessings in the next life. The old people in ancient China used to say, in this life, you can't hold grudges against Heaven and Earth in this life, no matter how much good you do, you will accumulate so much virtue. In other words, if the previous life did not do good deeds, did not accumulate merit, [then] those who asked God for help were also useless. The universe is the Law of the universe, which God also obeys. God does what should not be done, then God will also be punished. Not as simple as people think; What do you want, God can help you do it? The condition is that you must have merits and virtues from the previous life, [and then] use them to exchange them! Because this is according to the Law of the universe. But to teach from the root, it is not the basic purpose of accumulating merit. Human life in the world accumulates more blessings, because it is the most important thing to use to pave the way for oneself to return to Heaven, not to exchange for the temporary happiness of this human life!
