My Understanding of the Three Requirements By a practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Since I was released from a forced labor camp, I have
been fulfilling Teacher's three requirements, namely studying the Fa, clarifying
the truth and sending forth righteous thoughts. I have become fearless when I
clarify the truth of Falun Dafa to other people. I take every opportunity to do
this when I am in the market, in the park and on the bus where there are usually
a lot of people. I utilize my wisdom, taking advantage of each small thing. I
share my personal experiences with people, tell them how I have benefited
physically and mentally, and how Jiang has been lying, creating a false reality
and persecuting us. In the matter of sending forth righteous thoughts, I have found that some
practitioners finish it in less than ten minutes, some keep looking at their
watches, some open their eyes from time to time, some sleep and don't even
realize that their palms are no longer in an upright position, some say that
they are not the magnificent Buddha and therefore can't say that they are, and
some send righteous thoughts for their families only. My understanding is that
all these are a result of not really understanding the Fa. To rectify this, I
think we should study The Essential for Further Advancement II more
often. I think we have to be absolutely clear what we are doing when we send
forth righteous thoughts and we have to do it perfectly. As soon as you sit,
except for Teacher's formulas and what you intend to say, you should empty your
mind for at least 15 minutes for better results. When you meditate with an empty
yet conscious mind, your entire being will be sending forth compelling energy
and supernormal power. You don't have to take the time spent on sending forth
righteous thoughts too rigidly, but I understand that spending more time is
better than spending less time. Our role is to help Teacher in Fa-rectification,
eliminate the evil and save sentient beings. We have to do all of these as best
as we can. Posting date: 6/15/2003 |
