Teacher asked us to solidly cultivate ourselves. My understanding on this is that our experience sharing is not simply a process of realizing our attachments, but we also need to make sure we will eliminate our attachments during our cultivation.

The goal for cultivators is to reach consummation. From the beginning to the end of our cultivation, there are tests that target our fundamental attachments. As true Falun Dafa practitioners, we need to continuously remove our attachments during our work on the three things that Teacher asked us to do. For Taiwan practitioners, if we are attached to the two political parties in Taiwan, it certainly is an attachment. How can we tell whether we have this attachment or not? Well, some Taiwan practitioners treat the members of the two parties differently. Some are aggressive when dealing with people from a different party. For me, I found my attachment of fear in my view on the split in Taiwan’s political landscape.

The attachment of fear is a big barrier for practitioners in cultivation. There are many kinds of fear. I came to realize that my fear is actually not directly related to the two parties in Taiwan, but I was afraid that the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would poison Taiwan. In other words, I had fear of the CCP.

I had been clarifying the truth via the Internet for a long time and I often communicated with people from mainland China. I came to see more clearly how the CCP had been persecuting people. Meanwhile, there are more and more reports and topics on the relationships between Mainland China and Taiwan. There are also exposures of mainland products with defects and examples of how Taiwan investors lost their money doing business with Mainland China. Still, possibilities are being investigated regarding direct flights between the mainland and the island. In my daily life, I wouldn’t buy any products made in China since they make me worried and uneasy. I never used those disposable chopsticks made in China since I read reports before about the unclean conditions in which they are packed and assembled. By instinct I refused and hated everything from China. It seems I was afraid I might be poisoned by the CCP’s evil elements in everyday life. I definitely did not want to see any evil things sneaking from China into my beautiful Taiwan.

Without my realizing it, my attachment of fear had developed. When people that I got to know on the Internet said to me, "Your welcome to pay a visit to mainland China," I would say, "No, I won’t go since Mainland China doesn’t respect democracy and human rights and there are persecutions going on." In fact, my attachment of fear was arising when I said so.

Recently, Teacher asked us to examine more deeply our acknowledgment of the split of the Taiwan’s political parties. One day, I couldn’t help asking myself, "Do I welcome the CCP to come to Taiwan?" Without any hesitation, I said, "Absolutely not!" The strong response made me suddenly realize my attachment of fear. It was a fear towards the evil and the evil CCP. It was hidden in the bottom of my heart and it actually affected my cultivation. When I dug it out and examined it, I was shocked. It was so bad and it had been hiding so well! I sincerely appreciate Teacher’s hints to help make me see the root cause of my view on the split in the parties.

Then, what should I do to handle this with righteous thoughts? I think I can make a rational choice not to buy products made in China. At the same time, I don’t need to worry about who comes to Taiwan. We need to use righteous thoughts to prevent the evil CCP from exporting its persecution to Taiwan. But we don’t need to be afraid. Personally, I think that as long as we can do well with the three things that Teacher asked us to do and keep a correct attitude as true practitioners, we are assisting Teacher with the Fa-rectification. With the CCP not coming, we need to clarify the truth. With their coming, we still need to clarify the truth. How could I let myself wonder about and be affected by different possibilities in everyday people’s society?

My attachment of fear was rooted in selfishness. Quickly enough, I got rid of it and made myself more pure and my righteous thoughts became stronger. I can’t allow the evil in other dimensions to take advantage of my omissions. Some fellow practitioners once said to me, "As a practitioner, we cannot exaggerate one single event or issue. However, it is very important for us to pay attention to our own shortcomings and improve ourselves." Here I am sharing my understanding of my attachment with you. Please correct me if I said anything inappropriate.
