Rectifying Myself and Being Responsible to Dafa
A Dafa Practitioner from Canada Recently when I exchanged insights on lawsuits with other practitioners, we
had some disputes due to our different understandings. This made me reconsider
the issue of rectifying myself and being responsible to Dafa. In the past when I disagreed with a fellow practitioner's opinion and a
dispute arose, I was always very angry at his adhering stubbornly to his own
opinions since I believed that he was not being responsible to Dafa. To prevent
him from causing losses to Dafa, I must be responsible to Dafa and point out his
mistakes and rectify them. But I did not realize that the other practitioner
shared the same idea about me. So, what is truly being responsible to Dafa
during a deadlock? During experience sharing, practitioners mentioned that only by rectifying
ourselves could we be responsible to Dafa. Rectifying ourselves includes
studying the Fa attentively every day, looking inwards by nature when coming
across a problem, and working toward eliminating all thoughts and deeds which
are inconsistent with the Fa by using righteous thoughts. And in the meantime,
we must consider if our actions will do harm to other practitioners or not.
First of all, we must rectify ourselves, and then consider all contradictions
and disputes. Getting rid of the selfish idea of "for myself", we will
only have approval and gratitude instead of indignation from practitioners with
different opinions. "Oh. This matter can be viewed in another way. I never
considered an issue so comprehensively." Thus I have felt once more how
mysterious it is for Master Li to arrange those who practice together with us.
