Doing Well Outside But Not Doing Well at Home: There Is Still a Gap By a Dafa Practitioner in Germany After the experience sharing conference held at the end of the year between
German Dafa practitioners ended, one fellow practitioner told me, "Please send
my regards to your husband. Regardless of whether he likes to hear this or not,
please pass my message to him. Why is it that you feel that a change in him is
so difficult? Why is it so difficult to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to
Chinese people? Maybe it is because he brought with him all the degenerate
notions in his universe. All the things that should be
rectified in his universe are all pressing down on him alone."
After hearing these words, at that moment I suddenly felt light and relieved,
the capacity of tolerance in my heart increased. During these last few years,
the tribulations between my husband and myself seemed to be endless. Reading the
experiences of other fellow practitioners, it seemed that sometimes one word or
an incident would just make the family member change their perceptions. I
frequently used human notions to reason with my husband. The more I reasoned with him
the more confusing it got and the angrier I became. I recalled that one fellow
practitioner mentioned that to clarify the truth to a few people whom you knew
very well might only take a few minutes, but before that, the elevation of one's
xinxing [moral quality] may have taken a few months. Perhaps the utterance of these
few words was not simply a few words, it was breaking through a layer of human
shell and rectifying a whole cosmic body. That's why it seemed so difficult and
took such a long time. An incident that was seemingly uneventful in this
dimension was really splendid and wondrous in the other dimensions.
As his wife, changes in him would be directly related to me. Every word I said
to him should carry with it the pure and clean state of mind of a Dafa
practitioner and the essence of the facts about Dafa. In this way I could then
continually correct the degenerate notions in his head and help him to create a
wonderful future for himself. After realizing this point, I felt that my
responsibility as a Fa-rectification practitioner was great. Therefore to
clarify the facts about Falun Gong to sentient beings outside the home cannot
replace the role of clarifying the facts to one's family members. Doing well
outside but not doing well at home: there was still a gap.
Fa-rectification in the family is a link that all Dafa practitioners need
to complete themselves. It will not change on its own with changes in the
external environment. Posting date: 2/1/2003
