My Understanding About Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
By a Practitioner from Argentina On one occasion, after sending righteous thoughts at the top of each hour for
13 hours here in Argentina, some thoughts came to my mind and I decided to write
them down and share them with my fellow practitioners.
One year ago, when I had just started sending righteous thoughts, I felt
there was a lot of resistance inside myself because I did not have a clear
understanding of the Fa. Nonetheless, I felt that somehow my own field was being
rectified. It seemed as if everything inside my body and all my bodies in other
dimensions were starting to work harmoniously. At the same time, my
enlightenment quality improved and the resistance I felt seemed to gradually
dissolve. At first I didn't feel very comfortable with the idea of "eliminating"
something, no matter how bad it was. To go beyond the limits of forbearance
during this period of time was something I knew to be necessary given the
circumstances. Nonetheless, I felt some sadness within, but didn't know why, and
part of me wasn't able to separate from the old forces because it pained me to
see such high-level beings falling because they interfered with Master's plan of
rectification and their warped understanding of the cosmos.
I also didn't have a clear understanding about not adding any mind intent to
my cultivation. Now I have understood the fact that perhaps every time I add
something to my cultivation, I'm actually doing the same thing the old forces
are doing to the rectification of the Fa. By insisting on their own thoughts,
they are harming not only themselves but others too. This is based on not
trusting Master's wisdom and preventing the fulfillment of his sacred mission in
the way he sees as most appropriate.
I am beginning to realize the magnitude of the effect my thoughts have in the
cosmos and most of all within the realm that I'm responsible for. I've
understood that it is better to remain as humble as I can and trust that no
matter how they manifest, Teacher's plans will always be infinitely more perfect
and benevolent than any of my own; so it is better that I follow His boundlessly
compassionate teachings and let things take their natural course.
I feel it is time for all beings in the cosmos to react to the interference
of the old forces and to raise their voices and let everyone know this should
come to an end, that it should not be allowed to continue in this way. What is
happening in this world seems to me to be symbolic, a reflection of unimaginably
huge events happening in the infinite spaces of the cosmos. But our main spirit
is here with us, with Master, and it is the choices we make here at every
moment, that determine the course of events in those other spaces.
While I clarify the truth here, it is most likely that all my bodies in other
dimensions are doing the same, along with countless other sentient beings. For
every minute that I send forth righteous thoughts here on earth, how long am I
sending righteous thoughts in other dimensions where the time-spaces are so much
larger? All of this depends on the determination of the main consciousness in
this dimension to carry it out. Perhaps if I didn't have the understanding of
sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth during the Fa
Rectification period, then perhaps the corresponding "me's" in other dimensions
wouldn't do it either. Therefore, all those other dimensions might not be able
to enter the new cosmos when the time comes. When I see that someone is tired,
hoping for the persecution to be over so they can reach consummation, I feel
uncomfortable. Sometimes I myself have worse thoughts, like wanting to
disappear. I don't even want to think about what it's like in China!
Yet cultivation is something very serious and difficult to undertake. It's
not easier to do in one place than in another, since the biggest struggles take
place inside oneself, as I understand it. Overall, I think my feelings of
discomfort stem from the thought that even this desire to reach consummation
hides a pursuit of wanting to rest and take a vacation. Of course, just having a
human body is pretty painful and no one likes to feel suffering.
Perhaps true happiness stems from sacrificing oneself for others, living to
serve others. While on the other hand human happiness comes from seeking comfort
and well-being for oneself and living in a "perpetual vacation." I have a
feeling that it doesn't matter to me where I go at the time of my consummation
(if I am successful in my cultivation), the level we reach doesn't matter
because nothing in the history of this main spirit's existence will ever be as
precious as this period of time of being with Master. This is true happiness. To
be here, taking part in something so glorious and immense. Master can do it very
well without me, but he gave me the opportunity to do something, no matter how
big or small, for my own elevation.
Besides this, in the same way that cultivation depends on oneself, improving
the cosmos is the responsibility of the beings that inhabit it; but because no
one was capable of carrying this out by themselves, Master had to come and take
charge of the things we couldn't do and give us his guidance. Didn't he say in
Zhuan Falun: "Cultivation depends on oneself, but Gong is up to the Master"?
Overall, he created a plan, and allowed us and countless other sentient beings
to participate in it under his direction and infinite wisdom. But some wanted to
set up their own rules and put everything at risk, which caused much suffering
and unnecessary losses. I feel there is no more room in my heart for the beings
in this category and I am absolutely no longer able to acknowledge any of their
plans for myself or anyone else.
I have understood that when sending forth righteous thoughts I'm not really
"killing" anyone. Instead, I'm bringing order and clarity to those places in the
cosmos where Fa rectification hasn't reached yet. What I'm truly eliminating is
evil, violence, torture, and murder of compassionate beings. This is why I hope
that all practitioners who may still have doubts in their minds about sending
forth righteous thoughts no longer have those doubts and remember why they came
here--to become firm and determined, raise their voices and thoughts to
eliminate the evil, and save the sentient beings in our cosmos' who are
depending on us at this time. Please, no one else should allow the evil to
continue. Let's not leave any gaps in our hearts that prevent the evil from
taking advantage of us. I truly believe that as soon as the entire world learns
the truth and recognizes the injustice of what is happening in China, the evil
won't be able to stand any longer and will be eliminated entirely from the
cosmos and then all of this will be over.
I wish to thank everyone for helping improve our environment through sharing
their understandings. Please point out any wrong understanding since my level is
still very limited and words can't always express an understanding with total
clarity.
