The Foundation for Doing Dafa Work Must Be Correct


November 30, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) Since July 20, 1999, when local practitioners validated Dafa, practitioners have been periodically persecuted by the evil. Most of them were arrested for making or distributing truth clarification materials. This indicates that we still have omissions in validating Dafa, such as unknowingly adding in some everyday people's attachments. Through experience sharing we discovered that when local practitioners did Dafa validation work, there were several types of human attachments commonly displayed:

1. The heart of hatred. Facing the overwhelming framing and defamation by the vicious political group of scoundrels, seeing Dafa and Master attacked by slander and practitioners suffering from inhumane torture, some practitioners instinctively developed anger and indignation against the persecutors. This strong emotion would often be unwittingly mixed into their Fa validation work.

2. The heart of just doing work. This type of mentality often showed up in those fellow practitioners who did Dafa work very actively. Sometimes in order to hurry up making truth clarification materials, if it were not finished or distributed on time, practitioners felt worried and tried to rush to finish it, ignoring Fa study and cultivation. The result was developing the mentality of just doing work.

3. The heart of achievement. Some practitioners who have stepped out recently and had not done well with their Fa-study mistakenly thought that Fa validation was to establish their own power and virtue, and was for their own consummation, so they blindly pursued numbers and were eager to make achievements. This easily led to problems.

4. The heart of being nice. Some practitioners were afraid of stepping out to validate Dafa because of the heart of fear. In order to help one practitioner, a fellow local practitioner who was doing well validating Dafa asked the practitioner to distribute flyers or glue word blocks together. Although the practitioner helped, it was just for the sake of being nice, rather than for validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. Obviously, bringing such a mentality into validating the Fa would reduce the effectiveness of the validation work. If an everyday people's mentality is in control during Fa validation, it is equal to everyday people doing Fa validation work. The most dangerous part is when validating Dafa with an everyday person's mentality, it is easy to be taken advantages of by the evil, and they may find excuses to persecute practitioners.

What kind of heart we have while validating Dafa is an essential starting point for doing Dafa work. It reflects whether our motivation for validating the Fa is for ourselves or for others. If we use an impure mentality to validate the Fa, the foundation is not right, and to some extent it shows the deviated notion of self-interest. If we establish the foundation on the basis of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings with a pure heart, then the starting point is right. This shows the selfless and altruistic righteous enlightened beings that Dafa practitioners are striving to become. With such a righteous heart to validate the Fa, the evil won't be able to find excuses; otherwise they will have violated the Law, and Master's Fashen [Law Body]and Fa-protecting gods won't be lenient with them. Even if we encounter danger during Fa validation, Master will help us return safely. From another angle, only if the foundation is correct can Fa validation work be most effective, and truly achieve the goal of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings.

This is my own understanding, please kindly share your opinions with me.
