Reading Minghui Weekly Helped me Enlighten
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) For the past several years I have had pimples all over
my body, which made me feel unbearably itchy. This kind of phenomenon has
occurred repeatedly and I could hardly endure the agony of it. Sometimes I was
not really steadfast in cultivation. I believed so much in Teacher and in Dafa.
I thought, "How could my karma not be removed?" It's really not easy
to cultivate! When I read the 193rd issue of Minghui Weekly, I was intrigued by one
of the articles. It said in the article, "At present there are a lot of
practitioners being arrested and persecuted to death or that have passed away
due to illness. There are many reasons for these situations; however, mostly
it's because the practitioner could not ultimately meet the essential standards
of Dafa over a long period of time." Upon reading this, I suddenly
enlightened to something. This applies to me! Teacher said, "This situation always occurred when I held classes in other places.
Some people were in great discomfort and would not move in their seats,
waiting for me to step down from the podium to treat them. I would not do it.
If you cannot even pass this test, how can you still practice cultivation in
the future when you encounter many big tribulations? Can't you overcome such a
petty tribulation? Everyone can make it." (Zhuan Falun, Lecture
Two) After studying Teacher's Fa, if I become confident and give up bad thoughts,
I can certainly make it. Although I have cultivated for a long time and I also try to do the
three things well in accordance with Teacher's requirements, why
have I not completely overcome this illness karma? I've been in tribulations for
a long period of time. It's just because I did not cultivate well and did not
meet the standard for a Dafa practitioner. Although the old forces should not
persecute Dafa practitioners, they are so attached to their own arrangements
that only by cultivating well can I deny them. In the future I will be more
diligent in order to treasure this opportunity that only comes once in millions
of years and meet the standard for a qualified Dafa practitioner during this Fa-rectification
period. December 06, 2005 |
