Increasing Our Capacity for Dafa Work
(Clearwisdom.net) When I read a fellow practitioner's article that stated, "Fa study
is like eating a meal (to supplement energy)," I remembered an incident that happened about
half a year ago. One night, I went out to hang truth-clarifying banners. [Falun Gong practitioners in China are
prohibited from peaceful appeals that are lawfully guaranteed to them by the Chinese constitution.
Facing this, they use novel and peaceful means to clarify the truth.] I left a little after 9:00
p.m. and came back around 2:30 a.m. Things did not go well at all that night. Then I tried to figure
out what the cause was. I did not have any fear at that time. However, I did not study the Fa very
diligently; my heart was not very pure, and I felt that this was possibly the cause. That night, I had a dream in which I saw that many fellow practitioners and I were eating a meal
by a big round table and Master was sitting behind us, watching us benevolently. Many fellow
practitioners had eaten so much that they could not move from their chairs. At that time, I also
felt very full; however, I had a big stomach and could eat a little more even though I was already
full. So I reluctantly ate a little more. Seeing that much delicious food on the table, I felt that
I could not eat anymore, although I still wanted to. When I glanced to both sides, I saw there was
still a lot of delicious food piled up like a small mountain. At that time, I wondered how we could
eat that much. Nevertheless, in my dream I felt that all the food was prepared for us and that we
needed to finish it sooner or later. When I woke up, I came to understand that for a Dafa practitioner, doing Dafa work is like eating
food. If the practitioner's level and capacity are limited, he or she will not be able to handle too
much Dafa work. How well we Dafa practitioners do in Fa-rectification is directly related to how
high our levels and xinxing [mind nature] are. If we can keep studying the Fa, sending
forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth, while constantly upgrading our own level, then
the work will be able to be accomplished better and better, in the same way that one can eat more
food when one's stomach becomes bigger and increases its capacity. January 17, 2003
