Perfect Harmony

By a Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa is perfectly harmonious everywhere. But I notice that many of my actions and words do not manifest Dafa's harmony and wisdom. Why?

Through study of the Fa and through solid cultivation, I have found a relatively fundamental reason. That is, in my mind there was a degenerated thought pattern that I had not realized before: when encountering things, I always used a simple understanding to deal with it, as if the answer had to be only among A, B, C, D, and E, and sometimes it was only a choice between YES and NO. Here, I do not mean that there was no principle [to follow when dealing with things] or ordinary people's slyness [to take a short cut when dealing with things]. I mean to deal with things superficially, unilaterally, or absolutely. For example when I clarified the truth, I often paid attention to firm principles and correct opinions, but forgot to be more considerate of others in my expression. Thus, during my personal cultivation and truth-clarification, I could not fully utilize the great wisdom a Dafa practitioner should have, and the power of Dafa's perfect harmony could not be manifested through me.

The correct [or normal] state of people's thinking should be dialectic, multi-dimensional, and kind to other people, or it should take morality as the principle. But the aliens' machine language is rigid, unilateral, or is pragmatic. How could a Dafa practitioner be controlled and affected by machine languages? All degenerated thoughts are not our own thoughts. Only by using our righteous thoughts to eliminate them, can we better dissolve into the Fa, be harmonious with Dafa, and validate Dafa's perfect harmony in the human world.

Teacher said, "to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and altruism" in "Non-Omission in Buddha-Nature" (Essentials for Further Advancement). Previously, I had only a limited understanding at a certain level. I could not fully eliminate the shadow of selfishness when doing things or talking. When I fundamentally expelled the above-mentioned degenerated thinking formula, I once again felt Dafa's mercy and perfect harmony. I can very naturally do well some of the things I could not do well before! It is the acquired human notions and degenerated thoughts that separate us from the characteristic of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance." When these separations are eliminated layer by layer, we will find that our life is a true part of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance!"

These are the solid and true feelings brought about by letting go of human attachments. They come from the greatness of Fa-rectification cultivation and Master's boundless mercy.

This is my personal understanding, for sincere exchange with practitioners.
