Ridding Our Thoughts of Relying on Non-Practitioners to Validate Dafa By practitioner Ge Xing
(Clearwisdom.net) I feel that when validating Dafa, a practitioner should remain in a state of
"non-action." However, "non-action" does not mean that you don't do anything;
rather it means that one's mindset is very peaceful and rational, and that one is in a state of
gaining without seeking. It also means that one is aware of what he says, and that his words are
consistent with the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. One should be neither
timid nor arrogant, and he should always be very righteous and tolerant. This doesn't mean that he
won't speak out when he sees something wrong. Rather, he will be calm during an ordinarily tense
situation, and he will suppress the other's evil side, and arouse his Buddha nature. This is not only a
question of one's own elevation, but also a matter of saving others. Not being attached to the results of our validating Dafa does not mean that we let everything
develop on its own. During the whole process, no matter how good or how bad the situation becomes,
we should not let the false images of people, places, and things affect us. Once we do, our hearts
as well as emotions will be moved. Then, the part of us that has not been cultivated well will act
like an ordinary person, and while we clarify the truth we will have the heart of attachment to
seeking sympathy or help. Doing things this way, however, is still not sufficient. To inhibit the
interference we must always have our hearts unaffected. We need to use righteous thoughts to rid
ourselves of the evil in other dimensions. In the meantime, we need to use the all-encompassing
power that we have cultivated from Dafa to touch and guide our righteous and kind side. More
specifically, we need to constantly rely on Dafa to correct our zealotry, fear, worries, anxiety,
anger, affections, and eagerness to accomplish things. We also need to constantly remember that
Master Li is right next to us, guarding us and waiting for us. Every difficult situation is a test and an obstacle that determines whether we can deny the
arrangements of the old forces. It is also a perfect opportunity for us to break away from our human
shell. If our hearts are not right, our acquired notions and thought karma will cause our tone of
voice and our expressions to carry things uncharacteristic of Dafa disciples. The more we
seek things, the more we will be overcome by them. This is also one of the reasons that old
forces dare to spoil things. The above is my personal understanding at my present level. Please point out any of my
deficiencies. 2003-7-15 Posting date: 7/27/2003
