Thoughts on Dafa Disciples as One Body

By Zhili

(Clearwisdom.net) A practitioner told me that recently the practitioners around her have often run into serious problems. They asked her to support them by sending forth righteous thoughts, and she would always do her best to help eliminate evil for the practitioners. She treated their problems as her own. Sometimes she has sent forth righteous thoughts for other practitioners for a whole night. She has felt very tired and has not had the same feeling of "Heaven is clear, the body transparent" ("After the Catastrophe" in "HongYin") for a long time.

After I heard this, I noticed my own problem. At the same time, I also want to talk about the thoughts of disciples as a whole. This is my opinion: We are all particles in Falun Dafa, so we should think of Fa-rectification from the perspective of one body and make the most of what we're good at. When we use our abilities to their greatest advantage, we can maximize the effect of clearing out and pinning down the evil, and that is the greatest help we can offer to other practitioners. Only by understanding problems based on the Fa and from the perspective of one body, can we see through the complicated, superficial reasons and break through as practitioners by improving our mind natures, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth.

Of course we shouldn't refuse to offer support by sending forth righteous thoughts under special circumstances. But if this becomes common practice, then it's like Western medicine: treat the head for a headache and treat the feet if the feet ache, instead of treating the root of the problem. In this way, we might walk the path arranged by the evil, and the evil will be able to lead us around. Sometimes when one practitioner is interfered with by sickness karma, everybody is impacted negatively. During such a time, the other practitioners cannot focus on clarifying the truth, and the result is that the affected practitioner's situation becomes even more severe than before. The evil factors use one person to interfere with our whole body of practitioners. Though this does not apply to all situations, when this happens, if we can act calmly from the Fa, then we can do better in reducing the practitioner's pressure. At the same time, we can also guarantee that the direction of the whole body's truth-clarification and exposing the evil does not deviate because of any form of interference.

Of course everybody has a different situation. Every Falun Dafa practitioner has his or her own path during the Fa-rectification period. Here I just provide another angle for considering problems, for your reference.
