Use Our Benevolence and Rationality to Help Fellow Practitioners Who Fail to Pass Tests
(Clearwisdom.net) A while ago, under control of the evil persecution, out
of a strong attachment of everyday people and in order to clear herself, a
fellow practitioner cooperated with the evil and revealed some details about
what I did for Dafa. However, with the collective wisdom and strong righteous
thoughts of many practitioners, I fully denied all of this arrangement and
thoroughly broke through the attempted persecution by the evil forces. Later when I saw that practitioner, she dared not face me, but instead gave
me a letter with her head lowered. In the letter, she expressed her extreme
regret and sense of inadequacy. She belittled herself very terribly and
indicated that she was not qualified to cultivate anymore. After reading the
letter, my first thought was that I understood her. Meanwhile, strong righteous
thoughts made me suddenly aware that this was absolutely not the right thinking
of a cultivator, but the evil forces taking advantage of this test to damage a
practitioner. At the same time, I also negated the advice that a fellow
practitioner had given me several days before, "Don't talk to her
anymore," which was integrated with human notions. The benevolence that
finally emerged made me feel the sacred righteous thoughts from her true being
towards Dafa and cultivation that were behind her regret. Aren't these the most
precious thoughts of a cultivator? Moreover, even Teacher has always been trying
his best not to let any practitioner fall behind, what excuses do we still have
to watch our fellow practitioners being brought down?
So after affirming her precious righteous thoughts, I seriously pointed out
that her words of "not qualified to cultivate" were not from her true
being at all. This was an attempt by the evil and karma to use gaps in her mind
to have her give up cultivation and achieve the old forces' objective of
persecuting practitioners. I also helped her to analyze the fundamental reasons
of her abandoning cultivation. It was because she did not want to endure and
firmly practice in suffering anymore, which went along with the attachment of
pursuing comfort. Also, out of self-humiliation and self-reproach, she
intentionally made use of the opportunity to give up cultivation with the excuse
of "failing to pass the test." This is a serious danger that is not
easy for us to recognize.
Several days later when I saw this practitioner again, she had already gained
righteous understandings of the principles of the Fa using her rationality and
had again actively devoted herself to Fa-rectification. I felt happy for this
fellow practitioner, and also had a deeper understanding of my own future
Fa-rectification work.
