3 See: Zhuan Falun, 2nd editio n, p. 27: ―An ordinary person cannot detect the existence of the
characteristic of Zhen-Shan-Ren [Zhen-Shan-Ren is the sole Criterion to Judge Good and Bad People]
in the universe because all ordinary people are at the same level. When you reach beyond the level of
ordinary people, you will be able to detect its existence.‖
4 See: Falun Dafa Lecture (Sydney, Australia), p.29. ―The races in the world are not allowed to be
mixed up. Now, the races are mixed up and it has brought about an extraordinarily serious problem .
..Mixed races have lost their roots, as if nobody in the paradise will take care of them. They belong
to nowhere.‖
5 See: ―Interview with Li Hongzhi‖ Time Magazine Asia (May 10, 1999). ―I know that modern science
is destroying mankind. Aliens have already constructed a layer of cells in human beings. The
development of computers dictates this layer of body cells to control human culture and spirituality
and in the end to replace human beings.‖

(www.falundafa.org/eng/books.htm), item #40. Actually, consummation has different meanings in
Li‘s teachings. It can mean enlightenment in this world as well as ascension beyond this world to
another realm. As used here, it‘s the second meaning. In this teaching Li goes on to tell his
disciples: ―As you consummate your own paradises you are, at the same time, eliminating your last
karma, gradually getting rid of your human thoughts, and truly stepping forward from humanness. ..
.So this isn‘t a matter of reaching Consummation in ordinary realms, nor is it achievable in ordinary
Consummation.‖ In item #8 of Essentials for Further Advancement II, Li‘s idea of consummation
seems to parallel the Christian idea of the rapture: ―When the day of Consummation arrives, the great
disclosure of the truth will leave the world in amazement.‖

―In the past, many came to teach Fa, such as Buddha, the Western God Jesus Christ, and even
Jehovah. All of them gathered people together, fearing that otherwise people wouldn‘t study it well or
would drop down. So people were assembled to practice cultivation together. Sakyamuni required his
disciples to have their heads shaved and put on kasayas. The disciples of Jesus entered monasteries.
I‘m telling you that the reason they did that was because the Fa they preached was lesser. They
couldn‘t save people without such requirements. In contrast, today we have such an enormous Fa
that we certainly dare to open things up and leave everything to you.‖

person in the world who is teaching orthodox Fa in public. I have done something nobody did in the
past and opened such a large door in the Dharma-ending time.‖

Since you are qualified, true cultivators who have met the standard, you cannot be threatened
by loss of money or material interests what is more, these cultivators can even let
go of life and death: how could they fear the threat of death?. ..It is in fact time to let go of
your last attachments. As cultivators, you already know that you should, and in your action you
have, let go of all worldly attachments (including the attachment to the human body) and have
made it through the process of letting go of life and death.. ..So as for your last attachment,
