Practitioners in Sichuan Province Successfully Hold Experience Sharing Conference
By Practitioners in China
(Clearwisdom.net) In mid-September, after studying Teacher's new
article "Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World's People,"
practitioners in Sichuan Province successfully held an experience sharing
conference in the home of a practitioner living in the countryside. Almost 40
practitioners attended the conference. With regards to security, practitioners
applied rational methods -- for example, the notice was spread only by word of
mouth, and during the conference, some practitioners stayed at the entrance of
the village to keep watch. The practitioners who coordinated the conference made very careful
preparations. To focus on the topic of "Let Go of Human Attachments,"
they prepared articles about attachment to competition, showing off, jealousy
and lust. They looked up Master's lectures on these topics and arranged for
practitioners to read them. Practitioners then shared their own cultivation
experiences in the recent time period, focusing on the three things that Master
requires us to do well (1). Each cultivation experience reflected the
practitioners' righteous thoughts and righteous actions, and they were all very
inspiring. In terms of finding omissions, problems that remained in sending forth
righteous thoughts were pointed out. Some practitioners said that sending forth
righteous thoughts was to invoke the divine power of the Buddha Fa, and it
should be used whenever necessary. Hence the phenomena of getting tired, having
impure thoughts, feeling painful or uncomfortable, and having incorrect hand
gestures were all interference that we Dafa practitioners should not
acknowledge. When such problems arise, they may have two causes: one may be that
we do not grasp well the key elements of sending forth righteous thoughts; the
other obstacle could be that we still have problems in studying the Fa and
improving ourselves, that is, we still have many attachments. When one's
character has not been improved, the energy potency is hindered. Therefore, the
effect of sending forth righteous thoughts is not achieved. This experience-sharing conference inspired practitioners to cultivate more
diligently and to step up the pace of truth-clarification and saving sentient
beings. Notes (1) The three things that Master Li has asked practitioners to do are to
study the Fa (the Law and principles, the teachings of Falun Dafa), send forth
righteous thoughts, and to clarify the facts of Falun Dafa and the persecution
to all people.
