A Righteous Element

By a European Dafa Practitioner

I would like to share with you my experience of sending forth righteous thoughts.

I started to eliminate the evil in other dimensions nearly one year ago with supernormal abilities such as throwing out Falun, wielding clubs, etc. After Teacher introduced sending forth righteous thoughts, the whole process of eliminating the evil changed completely. In the beginning, supernormal abilities and sending forth righteous thoughts were actually one and the same for me. Later I came to understand that righteous thoughts are the unlocked, boundless, divine power of the Buddha Fa. Our Master has unlocked every practitioner as one whole body. It was a temptation for me in the beginning that I still wanted to see and control this process with my open Tianmu and with my known supernormal abilities. But when I focused on something in other dimensions--for example a demon--the real and urgent big things remained untouched. This way became a distraction in the new way of Fa-rectification. From Master's article, "Expounding on the Fa," I understood that the divine side knows on its own what to do, if I don't block it with my human side. So I decided to close my Tianmu when sending forth righteous thoughts. Sometimes it becomes unlocked by itself. Maybe my cultivated side or Teacher does this--I don't know. It is simply not important.

Now I can often see that the gong does more than just eliminate bad things; it is also able to transform evil things in other dimension into something very positive, righteous and beautiful. And my understanding of this process of transforming instead of simply eradicating [evils] became even deeper with an experience I would like to share with you now.

Five weeks ago, during sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the Chinese embassy, something very evil and vicious with very strong negative energy built up in front of me in order to attack me. Normally I would have fought against something like this with a strong and focused mind, but during the battle which took place between these two different energies, I suddenly enlightened that Dafa's essence is Zhen-Shan-Ren, not killing. With this thought, my body became at the very next moment very, very warm--not hot--and a strong and benevolent energy flew out of it. My mind became very peaceful, calm and a great yet unknown joy filled my whole being. Nearly at the same time, this negative thing or energy field disappeared completely. Very, very wonderful things grew and replaced the evil stuff. After finishing the righteous thoughts the heavy atmosphere that had covered the grassy area in front of the embassy completely disappeared.

At home while reading Zhuan Falun, I enlightened that this process is similar to cleaning the bathtub with the insects inside. The purpose is to clean the cosmos with a compassionate and calm heart; this is similar to cleaning a big "bathtub" for our teacher and/or for all the sentient beings. The purpose is not to kill the insects, or in this case, the deviated beings, substances and demons. If I have a really compassionate and kind heart for living beings, then my gong and my divine side will be able to do magnificent, boundless things and processes in the cosmic layers, and the Fa-rectification will become sacred to me. Previously, I often felt like a Dafa warrior, but now I have a sense of assisting teacher in Fa-rectification.

After this experience, and together with this understanding, I feel that I am a small but very righteous and benevolent Dafa particle who exists in a living and joyful connection with all righteous elements and beings in the universe. Neither fighting nor borders exist anymore in my heart during sending forth righteous thoughts.
