(Clearwisdom.net) A while ago I had contact with a practitioner who
was not involved in validating the Fa. Due to my poor understanding of the Fa, I
continually picked faults, told tales among practitioners, and dealt with
conflicts with human notions instead of looking within. I was doubtful when
other practitioners pointed out what was happening. But I soon realized that
this could not go on. Through studying the Fa with other practitioners, and
reciting the Fa, the phenomenon soon disappeared. I recognized that only the Fa
could break all attachments.
The article I recited was "Teaching the Fa in the City of Los
Angeles." I thought, "Why do I always look down on others and not look
within myself? Some practitioners may not do well but they are my fellow
practitioners. Didn't Teacher say that other practitioners' business is your
business? I should help if I can be of any help. Shouldn't I still hold
righteous thoughts if I cannot be of any help? What have I done? I complain and
criticize without a kind heart let alone a compassionate and generous heart. I
felt ashamed when I compared my behavior with what the Fa requires of me."
This Fa principle kept unfolding itself and got clearer and clearer to me
while I was reciting the article. Before I knew it, the bad substance was gone
and I felt my generous heart.
Things became much smoother when I kept correcting myself. I didn't hold any
bad feeling when I saw this practitioner again. Nowadays, she and I validate the
Fa together.
The reason for this article is to share my experience with others who might
hold a similar kind of attachment. Let us always measure everything using the Fa
and work together to improve and raise our cultivation levels together!
