Strengthening Our Righteous Thoughts and Looking Inward to Find Our Attachments


(Clearwisdom.net) I noticed that different kinds of selfishness, fear, and even doubts about Falun Dafa often appeared in my mind. Although I clearly knew these thoughts were unrighteous, I was unable to wipe them from my mind. I felt that the evil factors in other dimensions were still trying to struggle with me, which was very laughable. I also felt that with the evil factors contesting, I should change my position from being passive to taking the initiative, so I talked directly to the evil factors: "Nothing can shake my firm heart that believes in Dafa. I am a Dafa practitioner. Fa-rectification must be a success, therefore Dafa practitioners will save sentient beings." After that, I felt that my mind became clearer and my righteous thoughts were stronger.

A practitioner told me that before he goes to sleep every night, he always carefully looks inward to find his attachments and summarizes his thoughts and conduct over the entire day. He also looks around the site where truth clarification materials are produced in order to check whether everything is alright. If he finds a problem, he kindly points it out and the practitioners of that area immediately solve it together. By doing so, the local practitioners as a whole can achieve the goals of enhancement and purity. They maintain a very calm xinxing among each other and never give the evil a chance to persecute them. They cooperate with each other very well when doing the three things. During their cultivation journey, they walk quite steadily.

I think that always looking inward in order to find our attachments according to Dafa is great. After clearly recognizing certain strong attachments we have, we can concentrate and work on these attachments. We can suppress them as much as possible and when we suddenly are faced with certain things, we can easily remind ourselves of those attachments. We can handle them better because we are already psychologically prepared.

Quite a number of practitioners in certain areas were recently arrested. Why had the low level evil spirits and rotten ghosts in different dimensions seen our loopholes but we couldn't detect them ourselves? It's a bit late to look inward to find our attachments after the fact. Because the persecution has already caused great losses to our family members, our fellow practitioners, the Fa-rectification, and saving sentient beings, certainly we should use all means to rescue our fellow practitioners and clarify the truth by using these persecution cases. However, the situation was very complex and some losses are very hard to correct. Therefore, it is very important that we steadily walk on the path of validating the Fa.

I realize more and more that carefully studying the Fa and truly understanding the Fa is the fundamental guarantee for all achievements. If our righteous thoughts are very strong, we will be able to wisely and comprehensively think through an issue. Whenever the evil factors interfere with the cultivation of practitioners or their saving sentient beings, we will automatically recognize them. It doesn't matter how the evil factors struggle before their disintegration, they are still feeble-minded and laughable. All the tricks they have used in order to interfere with practitioners can be seen clearly. All their plots will disintegrate. Our practitioners have become more and more mature and people also understand the truth more and more. Therefore, the evil cannot control and use people anymore. I believe that our cultivation journey is becoming wider and smoother.

These are my own understandings. Please point out any mistakes.
