By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) We recently held a small regional Fa Conference. Most of the participants were practitioners who were in charge of Dafa work in the countryside. I would like to share with other practitioners our thoughts on some issues exchanged during the conference.

1. Regarding the issue of holding one's hands incorrectly when sending forth righteous thoughts

One practitioner mentioned that when sending forth righteous thoughts in a group, nearly half of the practitioners were sleepy and were holding their hands incorrectly, either in the one palm erect position or the lotus hand position. Practitioners shared their thoughts on this issue. They concluded that, in cultivation practice, one must strengthen other practitioners’ righteous thoughts instead of adding any negative factors to them. "When we saw a certain practitioner getting sleepy, we used to say to her, ‘You’re sleepy again,’ ‘Your palm is not erect,’ or ‘Your hands are incorrect.’ Since we often talked that way, we added negative elements to the practitioner, which made the sleepy practitioner even sleepier, her palm even less vertical, and her lotus palm position less accurate."

We then reviewed Master’s teachings and Clearwisdom’s notices on sending forth righteous thoughts and understood that one must help other practitioners only by strengthening their righteous thoughts instead of adding any negative elements. When some practitioners’ hand posture remained incorrect, we would simply remind one another, "Keep your palm upright," and "Be god-like." After a few days of mutually reminding one another, the issues of sleepiness and incorrect hand postures were virtually eradicated.

The experience sharing of this practitioner enlightened me to the fact that a practitioners’ consummation process is the process of elevating our human thoughts to a divine being’s thoughts. The correct hand position in sending forth righteous thoughts is simply a superficial factor, while having the heart of a divine being is the critical inner factor of the process. It is the harmonious combination of the outer and inner factors that manifests the status of godhood. In the face of the evils’ persecution and of various interference in the human world, we must have righteous thoughts, we must be steadfast, we must be god-like. In helping our fellow practitioners to step forward to do well the Three Things, we must strengthen their righteous thoughts, reinforce their divine thoughts, and add more righteous elements instead of negative ones.

Another cause of the issue mentioned above is interference by black minions, rotten demons, and the evil spirit of the Communist Party. To protect themselves, these elements try very hard to interfere with us. In particular, when we try to send forth righteous thoughts, they try to stop us or suppress the effect of our righteous thoughts. The reason that we get interfered with sometimes is because our righteous thoughts are not strong enough at that time and our own space field in other dimensions is not pure or righteous enough. The evil elements take advantage of these elements and break in. Therefore, we must be god-like, we must rectify the Fa with our divine side, and we must send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate any evil elements in our own space field. When our own space field is full of righteousness, evils will naturally race to escape.

2. Do well the Three Things and constantly maintain the status of diligent advancement in cultivation practice

Another practitioner made several points with regard to doing well the Three Things in their township:
