"By Having Your Heart Unaffected You Will Be Able to Handle All Situations"

By Jing Shui

(Clearwisdom.net)

I have just returned from Latvia and Estonia, and have some meaningful experiences to share about sending forth righteous thoughts in close proximity [to the chief evil wretch in the human world].

1) Maintain a pure and divine state at all times

In Latvia, we continuously sent righteous thoughts every thirty minutes. We remained clean-hearted and clear-minded and time passed by quickly. In this state, we recited the verses for sending forth righteous thoughts over and over again, walking our magnificent paths of Fa rectification. We studied the Fa in between sending righteous thoughts and I felt I was rapidly upgrading my understanding of the Fa.

The next day, a thought suddenly occurred to me, "We are sending righteous thoughts time after time. Is this going to continue endlessly?" I discovered in my subconscious mind this hidden notion that has impeded me from completely eradicating all evil.

In The Fa-Lecture at the Florida Conference in the U.S., Teacher stated, "Then if every student is able to do that, I can tell you, within five minutes of sending forth righteous thoughts together, the evil in the Three Realms will never exist again--that's how important this is." I realized the importance of practitioners maintaining a pure and divine state at all times. The boundless might of Dafa is displayed through practitioners' unshakable faith and unflinching resolve. We are shouldering the task of saving sentient beings, so every chance we receive we must consider it as a divine duty. We cannot use ordinary people's ways of thinking to ponder results. Although we cannot see what's unfolding in other dimensions with our human eyes, what we maintain is our solid faith in Dafa.

For example, if I was rescuing someone who was drowning, I wouldn't think about how I will save him next time. I would try my best to rescue him now because this is the only chance I'll get.

After awakening to all of this, when I sent forth righteous thoughts again, I firmly maintained the heart of completely eliminating the evil. My heart became crystal clear and my often-blocked Celestial Eye was able to see some scenes from other dimensions. I wasn't attached to anything I saw, but kept a calm and tranquil mind, and sent forth a Dafa practitioner's purest righteous thoughts.

2) Walking my path of Fa-rectification openly and nobly

In between sending forth righteous thoughts at a close range [to the chief evil wretch in the human world], if I studied the Fa with a clear mind I found my understanding of the Fa ascended quickly and my righteous thoughts became ever-purer. On the fifth day, during Fa-study, I enlightened to what Master meant in "Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions" when he said, "And with no attachment to living or dying, He walks his path of Fa-rectification openly and nobly."

I realized that no matter what we do we cannot be attached. When practitioners do divine Dafa work, it is to pave a glorious history for the future. Teacher told us in "Toward Consummation," "Do you know that one of the biggest excuses the old evil forces use at present to persecute Dafa is that your fundamental attachments remain concealed? So in order to identify those people, the tribulations have been made more severe..."

When we maintain a pure and divine state, our might is indestructible. As I am thinking of this, the verse for sending forth righteous thoughts, "The Fa rectifies the Cosmos; the Evil is completely eliminated," resonates in my mind. A great energy flows through my body, and I now have a better understanding of Dafa practitioners emanating the purest and most solid righteous thoughts.

We have now returned and rejoined fellow practitioners in sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the local [Chinese] Embassy. We must persist and do well in this precious period of time that history has bestowed upon us.
