All Beings Are Watching Us
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from Shanxi Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I'm cultivating with my celestial eye open. I often see
scenes from other dimensions, and I've mentioned it while sharing with other
practitioners. Four years ago a practitioner asked me to write down what I've
seen. At the time I thought, "My writing skills aren't very good; how
should I begin and end this article?" Hindered by my own notions, I ended
up not writing anything. This April another practitioner asked me to write my experiences. This time
my heart was moved and I wanted to write something down, but I immediately
experienced interference. I started working overtime at night and nothing went
smoothly; my boss lost his temper with me and there were more problems at home
for no apparent reason. I was so exhausted, and I thought to myself, "Oh, I
won't write anything now, I'll wait." Another two months passed. Last week while we were sharing, some practitioners again mentioned that we
should write our cultivation experiences and the things we've enlightened over
the years, and I was again reminded of the article I intended to write. A few
days later I started writing the beginning of this article, and I also added
this sentence: "This time I mean to finish it." As soon as I had this
thought, a miracle happened. I didn't have any notions about how to write and
the work went very smoothly; my husband and child were no trouble, and by making
use of time in the afternoon and at night ,I finished my first draft in a day
and a half. Through this experience, I came to realize that as long as our
righteous thoughts are strong, nothing can interfere with us. Teacher has said that in other dimensions every substance is a living being.
When I first heard this I didn't have an in-depth understanding. Then the day
came when I saw lives from other dimensions, and I understood the relationship
between their dimension and ours, and I understood the arrangement of the lives
in our dimension in other dimensions. One day I was doing the second exercise at home. After I entered into
tranquility, a rose appeared before my eyes. The flower was gradually
blossoming, until it was fully open, and I saw that the flower was made up of
seven or eight young girls. They were dressed just like fairies; their skirts
were floating, and the color of their skirts was the same as the flower. When
viewed in this dimension a budding flower was visible, but in another dimension
it was the girls with their heads together, and their hands were on their
shoulders. They were kneeling and joined together; the flower blossoming in this
dimension are the girls stretching their backs in another dimension. Everything
was very vivid and beautiful. For people living in this deluded dimension, the truths of other dimensions
can't be seen, and they can't see the true images of the lives from other
dimensions, so they always do bad things, and when someone tells them the truth
they think it's superstition. Now they commit all kinds of sins for personal
gain; they chop and cut irrationally because they don't know that these are
living beings in other dimensions! One day in July 2001 it was very hot at home, and I was roasting. After
dinner my husband and our child asked me to go for a walk with them. Planning to
do the exercises, I declined. After they left, I turned on the tape recorder and
started doing the exercises. As soon as I closed my eyes I saw Teacher standing
in front of me and looking at me with a big smile. At the time I was very happy;
I thought to myself that I would cultivate very diligently and not let Teacher
down. In a compassionate and calm atmosphere I finished the first four sets of
exercises quietly. In the following days, every time when I did well I saw Teacher's
compassionate and calm smile. When I didn't do well Teacher would quietly sit
beside me, waiting for me to recognize my mistakes and fix them. One day I was chatting with my husband and I happened to mention a problem at
work. At the time all my feelings of injustice and anger popped up and my tears
fell uncontrollably. While I was wiping my eyes I saw Teacher again. He was
dressed in yellow clothing, his eyes were closed and he sat beside me (without
looking at me). I suddenly understood I was wrong. Why did I want to cry? Wasn't that a strong attachment? I was attached to
getting things from others, my reputation and how people see me. Is this the
behavior of a cultivator? Teacher has said, "The entire cultivation process for a practitioner is one of
constantly giving up human attachments." (Zhuan Falun) After I came to realize this, I felt my anger and feelings of injustice
instantly disappear, and my body became much lighter and my tears stopping
falling. In Teacher's lecture it says that every Falun Dafa practitioner has a Fa
Guardian beside him. One day while I was doing the exercises I saw some Fa
Guardian Gods. There were four great enlightened beings holding golden shields
and wearing golden armor. They were armed with a type of weapon I've never seen
before. They were very tall and looked very powerful. They were standing in a
row on my left. When I first saw them I didn't know what was going on.
Afterwards I often saw them when I practiced the exercises. I suddenly came to
understand that Teacher has arranged those great enlightened beings to act as Fa
Guardians for us. Sakyamuni arranged Chronicles of the Heavenly Dragon for his
disciples. Today benevolent Teacher has arranged for heavenly soldiers and
heavenly generals to safeguard the Fa--what a great honor this is! We are truly the most blessed beings in the universe. We should really
cultivate ourselves well, complete our historic missions, follow Teacher and
achieve enlightenment. Buddhas, Daos and Gods are Watching Dafa Practitioners In other dimensions, Buddhas, Daos and Gods pay particular attention to Dafa
practitioners. Once I was sitting on a bed knitting while I listened to
Teacher's Fa (I know it's not right to do that). When one side of the tape was
about to finish I looked up and saw a Bodhisattva. She was across from me,
wearing a garment made of white light. She appeared to by very young, about 16
or 17 years old. While I watched her, she chatted with another God, then she
looked down and her hands were pointing at a lower dimension. In addition to Buddhas, Gods also pay a lot of attention to the cultivation
of Dafa practitioners. I remember once while I was doing the exercises I saw a
Buddha; he was very cheerful and his body was golden. He was waving his hands
and smiling as he watched me do the exercises. At the time I thought to myself,
"I won't be interfered with by you. The more I thought like that, the more
he laughed, and he kept nodding his head. Apparently there are some Buddhas
who's names I don't know that stay close to Dafa practitioners and watch them
practice the exercises. Once I saw a Buddha while I was doing the exercises (I could only see his
head). First there was a kind of dazzling blue light and then I saw a bun rolled
up in one circle after another, followed by a man's face. His face was long, His
light skin was so fine His pores were barely visible and he had no beard; He was
staring at me doing the exercises. I was shocked and thought to myself, "I
am Master Li's disciple." "Whether it is a Buddha, a Tao, an immortal, or a demon, they should
not move your heart. In conducting oneself this way, success is bound to be in
sight." (Zhuan Falun) He watched me for a little while and then he disappeared. When I saw these things I didn't think too much about them and I only
mentioned it to my fellow practitioners in a cheerful way, but as I wrote this
down I truly felt that high-level beings from other dimensions were very envious
of Dafa practitioners, and at the same time they scrutinize Dafa practitioner's
every word and action. If when you study the Fa you aren't assimilated to the Fa,
a Bodhisattva might point at you and say, "Look how cultivators in lower
dimensions study the Fa?!" Buddhas are more harsh; they stand beside you to
see if you can be interfered with or not and if you can remember what Teacher
said about no second cultivation way. The fruit status that Dafa practitioners
will achieve is very high, therefore the requirements for them are also very
high. What I Have Seen in Other Dimensions While Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts For a period of time our Dafa practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts
intensively twenty-four hours a day at the evil head. When the evil head
appeared in our dimension I saw his mouth, which is like a frog's, spreading
evil lies non-stop. I said to myself, "Eradicate this evil." As soon
as I finished reciting the Fa-rectification formula, I saw numerous round
objects like snowflakes flying out from my body and landing on the evil head,
which soon turned into a skeleton; after that it broke into pieces and fell to
the ground. Another time, while I was sending forth righteous thoughts I saw myself
turning into a huge Buddha as soon as I finished reciting the Fa-rectification
formula. I was sitting up in the air, and many people who looked like monks
passed under my feet and then sat down in a cloudy dimension, their palms
erected just like mine. Then it got dark, and large dark clouds were turning and
coming down to us, and I understood that it was the evil coming. I directed my
supernormal abilities at it, and there were many other Gods beside me
participating in the battle. After the lighting, thunder and heavy rain, the
storm was over and the sky cleared and became blue with white clouds; pavilions
were visible in the clear, peaceful scenery. Everyone was running on the hills
and meadows. They were all joyfully celebrating the victory, and I understood
that many lives had been saved. Each time I send forth righteous thoughts it's an intense conflict in other
dimensions. As we progress, Dafa practitioners' levels are going higher and
higher and their abilities are stronger and stronger. The supernormal abilities
they emit are sometimes like an explosion from a nuclear bomb; their tremendous
powers are just like a mushroom cloud, and it can quickly clean up a very large
area. In 2003 I went back to my old workplace and seized the opportunity to
clarify the truth to my colleagues. For some time I'd been doing the
Three Things very smoothly. After I clarified the truth and told
them that quitting the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and its affiliated
organizations ensures your family's safety, one of my colleagues led his family
in writing their declarations of withdrawal from the three Communist
organizations. He also advised them to study Zhuan Falun and he learned
the five sets of exercises. One night I had a dream in which there were many of my family
members and that colleague of mine. They were standing there talking, two or
three people in a group. Suddenly I heard someone calling me, saying that
Teacher was coming. I turned my head and saw Teacher coming into my home,
everyone (including my coworker) crowded around Teacher. Teacher gave everyone a
Falun (including my colleague), and I ran to Him and knelt down before Him,
crying. I was kow-towing to Teacher and my tears were coming down non-stop. I looked up at Teacher and said through my tears, "Teacher,
practitioners from Shanxi miss you!" Teacher looked at me in a
compassionate way and lifted me up, then He looked into the distance and said,
"Shanxi practitioners are doing very well." Hearing this I had mixed
emotions. At the time I saw many old forces around me, they were looking at me
one by one in strange way; "Alright, do you really miss your Teacher?"
It was then that I realized that I hadn't learned to calm down when I read the
Fa, and I didn't respect our Teacher enough (I didn't properly put my Dafa books
back on the shelf after reading, and I read the books in bed). When I had
tribulations I didn't think of Teacher first, and instead tried to solve my
problems like an ordinary person. At the time I wasn't even ashamed. (When
ordinary people do bad things, they think no one knows. They don't know that
everything we do is visible in other spaces; every one knows, and when the time
comes the entire course of events can be viewed just like a movie and is just
like what people call solid evidence). I only felt that I hadn't done well
enough and I didn't deserve to be there. I suddenly woke from my dream and I was very sad and full of regret. I
regretted the fact that my day-to-day cultivation wasn't solid enough, and I
regretted the fact that I didn't respect Teacher and Dafa enough in all my
affairs. When a being truly regrets, it is heartbreaking! I hope that my fellow practitioners will kindly point out anything
inappropriate I might have written due to my limited understanding.
