My Understanding of Rising in Cultivation


(Clearwisdom.net) Since I read "Pass the Deadly Test," I have let go of my attachment of saving face and publicly announced my previous incorrect thoughts and deeds to fellow practitioners, so local practitioners also openly discussed past misunderstandings as a result of my honesty. The misunderstandings among practitioners were thus dissolved, so we all felt Teacher's compassion and the Fa's mighty virtue. The joy in our hearts was hard to describe.

Afterwards, joyful news came one after another. Every Fa study group came together almost every week to discuss how to look inward, how to coordinate as one body and study the Fa. When one practitioner shared her experience, the whispers, the interruptions, the arguing, the complaining, and accusations became fewer and fewer. When one practitioner pointed out the shortcomings of another practitioner', the face-saving was let go more, and everyone understood the importance of how to harmonize a group.

Practitioners often told me from the bottom of their hearts, "Thank you for helping me realize it's time to ask 'why' when there is a conflict." I was really very moved and no longer said that they had poor enlightenment quality. On the contrary, I encouraged them and told them that they had good enlightenment quality, and that their xinxing was improved and they should be more diligent and forge ahead in cultivation! In this world, nothing is more inspiring than to see fellow 'practitioners improving their character. More importantly, it is Dafa that guides us to understand what to do when conflicts occur. This time, 'it was under the guidance of Teacher's new article' that I could let go of my attachment of reputation.

During the past few years, on the surface I was helping fellow practitioners by pointing out 'their shortcomings unselfishly, but actually I was showing off myself. All along, I looked at the shortcomings of others while I failed to look at myself. After days and months went by, fellow practitioners almost became "strangers." I was the one who 'did not ask "why" when conflicts occurred, and I was the one who had poor enlightenment quality. After a few years' of this, finally I became mature. I was enlightened to the fact that understanding and tolerance are some of the fruits of cultivation.
