Make Good Use of Our Talents and Walk Righteously on the Path of Validating the Fa
By a practitioner in Taiwan
(Clearwisdom.net) There are a variety of ways to clarify the
truth: media, Internet, phone calls, fax, mail, delivery of flyers. Which
method is the most appropriate way? One fellow practitioner once had some
doubts. In his own opinion, he was good at clarifying the truth by making phone
calls, but some practitioners told him that he should learn to use QQ (a tool to
clarify the facts on the internet). This practitioner thus was confused as to
whether he should learn how to use QQ, because he was not good at computers. In my opinion, a practitioner should take his/her own advantages and skills
into consideration. For example, some practitioners have good verbal skills so
they choose to make phone calls or to participate in a media project. Others
have writing talent so they can validate the Fa by writing. Some
find it hard to travel, so they choose those projects which do not require any
trips such as using the Internet, mailing, faxing, and making phone calls. Some
are very warmhearted, which is an advantage in helping coordinate the projects.
If everyone can do well in his/her own position, we together can bring into full
play the power of the whole. It is like our organs: every organ has its own function and each use is
important to the whole. I think the most important thing in clarifying the truth
is to do it well. If you are an expert at that project, you may solve the
problem easily. Of course, that does not necessarily mean that I have to do that
project because I am the expert. If it is possible, we can create our own
projects. Take myself, for example. Making phone calls, writing, participating in group
activities, clarifying truth face to face, and teaching new practitioners suit
me quite well. I am good at those things and I am also able to look after my job
and family in the meantime. I think if I am not good at it, then it may be very
hard to do it well and the result may not be good. In truth-clarification, we should not weigh each project. Also, it is not the
case that the technical support and the coordinators are more important. If we
can do everything well in every position, we are improving ourselves. In a
parade, some practitioners dress up as gods, some dress up as dancers, some play
waist drums, some hold our banners, some hold the boards and some just walk
along. Whoever is leading the parade is important, and all of the other roles in
the parade are equally important. As long as we have pure heart, we are
improving and elevating. Some practitioners have said that Falun Dafa practitioners are able to do
everything, and can learn anything they want to learn. I don't agree. Some
projects require certain basic skills. Whatever skills we learned before we
obtained the Fa are the basis of our validating the Fa. Many things may appear
disordered, but actually they are building the path of validating Fa in an
orderly way. We avoid a crooked road if we walk our path by fully making use of
our skills or talents. Every project is equally important. We should not "set our eyes"
only on the "popular" projects. Of course, if one project is in urgent
need of input, then it will be a priority. Generally speaking, we should do
everything according to our own advantages and abilities. This was the problem I saw in our Fa rectification projects and I wanted to
share it with fellow practitioners. Let us cover the gaps and walk righteously
on the path of validating the Fa. Dec 02 |
