Fa Study and Righteous Thoughts
(Clearwisdom.net)
Recently, after I calmed down and spent lots of time studying the Fa, I
started to send forth righteous thoughts almost once every hour whenever I had
time.
Once while I was sending forth righteous thoughts, I had one thought to send
forth all my compassion to assist Teacher to save the sentient beings. Then I
silently recited the Fa-rectifying verses in serenity and compassion. After I
silently recited it several times, tears suddenly rolled down. I realized
afterwards that only with a calm, serene and compassionate heart can one send
forth more powerful righteous thoughts. I cannot see anything with my celestial
eye, but I believe at that moment my tears were not out of sentimentality;
rather, they reflected the genuine compassion of my original nature, which
really can eradicate the evil and save all beings. Later I enlightened to why
recently I can calm down to send forth righteous thoughts. It is the power of
Dafa, and it is because recently I have studied the Fa with a calm heart. Are
our righteous thoughts powerful? I enlightened that it all depends on whether we
can study the Fa well, and whether we can let go of everything to assimilate to
Dafa. The Fa is the most fundamental solution to all problems.
Some fellow practitioners have asked about how to send forth strong and
powerful righteous thoughts. I feel that it does not rely on a method, or the
speed and loudness of reciting the verses. Teacher said,
"Why doesn't your gong increase with your practice? Many people think
this way: 'I haven't received genuine teaching. If a master teaches me some
special skills and a few advanced techniques, my gong will increase.'
Nowadays, ninety-five percent of people think this way, and I find it quite
ridiculous. Why is it ridiculous? It is because qigong is not a technique of
everyday people. It is something completely supernormal. Accordingly, the
principles of high levels should be applied to examine it." (Zhuan
Falun, Lecture One)
Thus there are no shortcuts or special skills in sending forth righteous
thoughts. Only when we study the Fa well, assimilate to Dafa, keep up with
Teacher's Fa-rectification process, completely view things from the perspective
of Fa-rectification, and let go of everything to assist Teacher in the Fa-rectification
and in saving all beings, can we send forth the purest and most powerful
righteous thoughts.
I enlightened from the Fa-rectifying verses that it is the Fa that rectifies
the Cosmos, and that the Fa rectifies Heaven and Earth; it is the Fa that
punishes the evil, and the Fa brings good rewards to kind-hearted people.
Teacher said in "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance" that "Zhen-Shan-Ren
is the Fa!" Teacher also said in Zhuan Falun, "What is the
Buddha Fa, then? The most fundamental characteristic of this universe, Zhen-Shan-Ren,
is the highest manifestation of the Buddha Fa. It is the most fundamental Buddha
Fa." Only the heavenly Fa of Zhen-Shan-Ren can rectify the Cosmos and
eradicate all the evil.
Teacher also said, "The Fa can reveal all attachments, the Fa can
eradicate all evils, the Fa can expose and dispel all lies, and the Fa can
strengthen righteous thoughts." ("Deter Interference"). I
enlightened that through studying the Fa we must put down all attachments,
selfishness and egoism, let go of everything, completely assimilate to Dafa and
melt into the Fa. Only this way can we send forth righteous thoughts that are
gloriously radiant and compassionate to all sentient lives. This cannot be
achieved by some methods, but only through steady cultivation, step by step.
Above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out anything that is
not correct.
