"Don't Say That! We Should Not Let the Evil Drive Us!"
By a practitioner from Australia (Clearwisdom.net) This incident happened a while ago, but whenever I
think of the purity and sanctity of my fellow practitioner, I am deeply moved. One local practitioner experienced sickness karma interference last year.
Since many other practitioners had multiple tasks they were working on, there
were not enough people to come over to the hospital to send forth righteous
thoughts. An elderly practitioner that often sent forth righteous thoughts in
front of the Chinese Embassy and I were worried. We decided to visit the
practitioner in the hospital and send forth righteous thoughts for a couple of
days to help the fellow practitioner overcome this disaster. One day as we were about to leave the hospital, the patient's relatives
arrived. They met us and thanked us for what we had done. I was in a hurry to
pick up my children from school. We had to leave. When we were outside the
hospital the elderly practitioner said to me "It is not good to have only a
few of us (practitioners) show up at the hospital and leave early. What must the
relatives think of us?" I thought that we had been there early, as soon as
I had sent my children to school, and had stayed there till it was time to pick
up the kids. The relatives had shown up at hospital late in the afternoon. How
could we have done any better? I replied, "I don't think so. We were here
earlier than her relatives." The elderly practitioner quickly responded,
"Hey, don't say that. Let's not invite the evil." Her simple words really shocked me. I saw my own weakness. I was reminded
that, although I had continuously become aware of the Fa principles,
I have not used those principles to improve my "xingxing". I
soon understood something: a Dafa practitioner should not look for outside
re-enforcement and reasons. We must only be strict with ourselves and meet the
Fa principles and improve ourselves unconditionally. When we do that, we will
become more pure and not encounter evil disturbances. Will we not? It is just
like the elderly practitioner said, "We should not invite the evil." I felt that I had just found a treasure. I am always deeply moved every time
I think about this incident. |
