[Minghui Net] After reading Master's new article "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful" and many practitioners' related articles, I'd like to share a bit of my understanding.

Once I had this thought before I went to sleep: I am not as diligent as other practitioners in cultivation, and I barely have any feelings on the surface, can I have this ability? In my dream, the sky was filled with clouds of furiously billowing black matter. I stood there and realized that I should eliminate these vicious things. With this righteous thought coming out, those dark clouds disappeared in a twinkling, and the vast sky returned to its original state and was very beautiful. After I woke up, I realized that it was Master's hint. In fact, isn't it an issue of whether one firmly believes Master's words?

Master has pointed this out in the article, why do I still have doubt? Aren't my human notions blocking me? Isn't it the thought karma that prevents me from improving? Master has said: "A Buddha is mighty capable, and he could wipe out all of humankind's illnesses with a wave of his hand." "...One god would be more than enough to make arrangements so that nothing would go wrong with any being on the entire earth, ..." It is not that we are so marvelous that we have great supernormal powers, it is because we are particles of Dafa, we are future Buddhas, Taos, and Gods, that we are able to do all everything needed.

For several days, whenever I was on the Internet, someone would scan my terminal and try to hack into my computer. I noticed several times that the attempts came from the same IP address. After I used my righteous thoughts to eliminate these vicious beings, this never happened again.

Once a relative came and said to my family a lot of bad words about Dafa. I heard from another room and thought that she should shut up as soon as possible, she didn't realize how much karma her words brought in, and she was also interfering with others. Sure enough, she stopped talking about Dafa and talked others things instead.

In my daily life, whenever I see or hear about the persecution against Dafa practitioners, I would use my righteous thoughts to wipe out the vicious factors in other dimensions and those criminals in this dimension.

A fellow practitioner said that for a period of time, her child kept interfering with her Fa study. Once the child hid her book, and after she found the book, the child was mad and cried in tears loudly, manifesting a strong demon nature. This fellow practitioner realized that the child demonstrated an abnormal state, and was controlled by the evil beings. She thought: I am a Dafa practitioner, I won't allow these vicious things to interfere with my family, I will drive them away and eliminate them. After that, the child didn't interfer with her Fa study any more.

Master said at the Great Lakes Conference in North America "...I can't accept any of these. So I need to eliminate them, including this evil drama." Why do we always tend to use human minds and notions to think? We may think "this time I will definitely be sent to a labor camp; once they find it out they certainly will come to get me," "this cannot be fulfilled," "will this be found out?" (Of course, appropriate caution is necessary.) Isn't this acquiescence to evil's arrangements and an admission of the persecution against Dafa practitioners? The evil may take advantage of this weakness. Master said in "Expounding on the Fa": "Under the influence of this kind of notion you think that all these tribulations are inevitable and that this is just the way it is, thereby developing a passive and pessimistic attitude. So your human side must stay aware. More importantly, your side that has attained the Fa must be clear."

Once while doing the exercises, I felt that a big space surrounding me was covered by a vast field of pure righteous thoughts. Not a tiny impurity existed in my mind, and once evil entered this field (appeared in my thoughts), it was instantly reduced to ashes. The evil had no way to flee, not to mention doing any harm. If every Dafa disciple applies the power of righteous thoughts and constantly has righteous thoughts, we will form a tremendous, all-conquering field of righteous thoughts. The evil will have no place to hide, no weakness to take advantage of. We will really suffocate and eradicate the evil.

Master said in "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance": "Forbearance (Ren) is not cowardice, much less is it resigning oneself to adversity. Dafa disciples' Forbearance is noble; is the manifestation of a being's extraordinary, indestructible, and diamond-like solidity; is tolerance for the purpose of upholding the truth; and is benevolence toward and salvation of beings who still have human nature and righteous thoughts. Forbearance is absolutely not a grant of limitless free rein, which enables those evil beings who no longer have any human nature or righteous thoughts to do evil without limit. With Forbearance, one can give up everything for Truth. But Forbearance does not mean tolerating evil beings--that no longer have human nature or righteous thoughts--defying both human and divine laws as they corrupt living beings and Dafa's existence at different levels, much less is it ignoring terrible crimes. Zhen-Shan-Ren is the Fa! And It is the manifestation of the Dafa of the cosmos at different levels. It is absolutely not some human ideology or guiding principle for ordinary human living, as humans take it to be. If the evil has already reached the point where it is unsavable and unkeepable, then various measures at different levels can be used to stop it and eradicate it."

My understanding is that the eradication of the evil not only safeguards Dafa, but also makes those humans controlled by evil to obtain less karma, and renders fewer people to be deceived. Isn't this the manifestation of Dafa disciples' great Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance at various levels?!

Above is just my recent experience and enlightenment. Please compassionately point out anything improper. 

Heshi!
