"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible)

Dig Out the Attachments behind Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

(Clearwisdom.net) Fa rectification has now come to its final moment. We must all make the best use of our time to do three things well: Study the Fa, clarify the truth to people and send forth righteous thoughts. Especially since Jiang's recent visit to Germany, we have a deeper understanding of the significance of sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the head of the evil. We have therefore increased the strength of the righteous thoughts we send forth, hoping to eradicate completely the head of the evil.

However, I have found that some practitioners have developed an attachment to sending forth righteous thoughts. This is because we eagerly hope to see with human eyesight the big devil being eradicated. This kind of attachment probably has negative effects on sending forth righteous thoughts.

The old evil forces in the old universe use old principles that do not conform to those of the new cosmos to judge everything. In their eyes, Dafa practitioners should not have any attachments. If very few practitioners have such an attachment, it is only an issue of personal cultivation and will not affect the arrangement of the old forces. If quite a few practitioners have such an attachment, then the old forces will see and use this as an excuse to do everything possible to "test" us. If Dafa practitioners all become attached to Jiang's elimination, the old forces will find excuses by every possible means to prolong his life in order to rid us of our attachments. Insofar as we do not get rid of our attachments, they will obstinately protect Jiang and not let him die. Of course, the whole course of Fa rectification is controlled by Teacher, and Jiang's "life," which is maintained by the replenishment of evil spirits or animal possession, will not last long. But, from the perspective of our practitioners' personal cultivation and participation in Fa rectification, we should never allow the old forces to take advantage of this loophole by making use of our attachments.

Therefore, the issue of personal cultivation or participation in Fa-rectification notwithstanding, we must always "do with no pursuing," "gain naturally without pursuit."

Also, many practitioners are becoming attached to the imminent end of this tribulation. Also this attachment will have a negative effect on the course of Fa--rectification. Please be alert.

We must use high standards and not give the evil forces any opportunity that can be exploited. We must take the last step well and not fall short of Teacher's expectations for us.

If there are any mistakes, please point them out.
