A Reminder on the Issue of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
By a Dafa practitioner in the Midwest USA
(Clearwisdom.net) During the Midwest U.S. Falun Dafa Experience Sharing
Conference held in Chicago, I had an opportunity to participate in the
conference as a staff member. During the ten minutes of sending forth righteous
thoughts, I once opened my eyes to monitor the conference site. Since I was
sending forth righteous thoughts in a standing position, I had a clear view of
the site. I found that many practitioners' hand postures had become more or less
distorted. When holding the palm erect, quite a number of practitioners' hands were not
straight, and they became tilted further and further as time went on.
Furthermore, some practitioners' hands even became closed and turned into a
fist. Some people seemed to realize the distortion of their hand postures, and
made adjustments. However, one minute later, their hands became slanted again.
Along with the distortion of their hand postures, some people nodded their heads
and fell asleep. When holding the lotus hand position, many practitioners' two
hands gradually converged. Some individuals even joined the two hands so that it
became like a Heshi position. The hand postures and the two-line formula used in sending forth righteous
thoughts are the precious weapons Master has given us to eliminate the evil, and
they are powerful weapons in the battle between righteousness and evil. Thus, we
should perform the hand postures well. Master said in "Explaining the Fa During
the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference," "Well in principle, as long as you're rational and clearheaded, making
hand gestures or not won't affect anything. But, it's apparent from your
hand gestures whether you've entered into tranquility or not, or if you've
fallen into a foggy state. So when you send righteous thoughts you have to
be alert. And what's that state like? It's very pleasant, as if everything
is still and quiet and the whole body is enveloped by energy." I suggest that everyone should have this understanding from now on during
sending forth righteous thoughts, and make more effort to maintain the correct
hand postures. In fact, if we apply just a little bit of force, we should be
able to keep the palm straight. Often we become sleepy when sending forth
righteous thoughts, and when the ten minutes are over, we immediately become
awake and no longer feel sleepy. Think about it, isn't this interference by the
old forces? Let us reject this kind of interference, eliminate the evil with
righteous thoughts and save the sentient beings.
