Comments for Republication
When Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa was
initially published, it was mainly for the purpose of improving the quality of
the assistants and their abilities to assist. If new, average students aren’t
able to accept it, harm and interference might be brought to Dafa. For this
reason its publication was limited.
In the time since disciples across the country began to study
the Fa and do actual cultivation, you have deepened your understanding of the
Fa. Through actually doing cultivation you have come to truly experience the
immenseness of Dafa and its close connection to the improvement of your levels,
and your understanding has noticeably improved. This being the case, I have
decided to republish Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa. However, there
is a tendency you should be cautious of: don’t go looking for new and unheard
of things in Dafa. Some people do, in fact, constantly try to find out what new
things I have said, what new books have come out, what the new direction is,
other sorts of things, and so on. You need to calm your minds and continue
cultivating steadily. The truth is, no matter how many more scriptures we
publish, they are merely supplementary materials to Zhuan Falun. Only Zhuan
Falun can truly guide your cultivation. It contains inner meanings that go
from the level of ordinary people to incomparable heights. As long as you
continue to cultivate, Zhuan Falun will always guide your elevation in
cultivation.
Although the superficial language of Zhuan Falun isn’t
fancy and doesn’t even conform to modern grammar, if I were to use modern
grammar to organize this book of Dafa, a serious problem would come about: the
language and structure would be in keeping with norms and be beautiful, but it
would lack deeper and higher meanings. This is because with the modern,
standardized vocabulary it is absolutely impossible to express Dafa’s guidance
at different higher levels and the manifestation of the Fa at each level so as
to drive the real changes, such as the transformation and improvement of the
students’ benti and gong.
The publication of this book, Explaining the Content,
is also for the purpose of guiding you to learn Zhuan Falun well. I hope
that Dafa disciples can take the Fa as their teacher, deter interference, and
cultivate solidly—this is how a person makes diligent progress.
