Completely Eliminate the Barriers Set by the Old Forces and Form an Indestructible One Body By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Changchun City
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, many practitioners in Changchun City were
arrested by the police. While we are trying to rescue our fellow practitioners,
we should look within ourselves. Why have our coordinators been arrested so
frequently over the past several years? Every practitioner is responsible for
that. We should summarize our experiences and learn a lesson from these
incidents. We cannot be numb to these arrests and just do things according to
the way we want. We need to keep a clear and rational mind, learn a lesson from
our past mistakes, and completely rectify our mistakes. Only by doing so can we
walk well and steadily on our remaining paths. From to what I know, many coordinators in my city have a lot of conflicts
with each other. Many did not trust each other and were even isolated from one
another. The communication methods they used were very bad and are the methods
of everyday people. When the conflicts grew, the coordinators did not
communicate kindly with each other in order to resolve the problems, but rather
rejected the advice from fellow practitioners and spread negative comments about
the other coordinator among practitioners. Unknowingly, the unrighteous field
was strengthened. In fact, all of these are barriers that the old forces have
created by abusing practitioners' attachments. They are also internal conflicts. The goal of the evil is to keep practitioners from forming a powerful,
unified body because that is a great risk to them. Therefore, the evil creates
barriers and internal conflicts among practitioners. The attachments of
practitioners were enlarged by the barriers and conflicts created by the evil.
Although practitioners have relinquished their attachments to fame among
everyday people, they are still very attached to fame in cultivation. Some are
so attached that they cannot relinquish the attachment. They fight for so-called
fame in cultivation and have forgotten their true destiny. Remember what Master
said in "True Cultivation:" "Can you bring to heaven the things
deep down inside that you cannot let go of?"(from Essentials for Further
Advancement) I have noticed another common phenomenon. We often do not do things from the
basis of the Fa. We do not consider the whole body. So, we do not
help a certain practitioner, and instead we become more distant from him or her
or even isolate and desert that practitioner. We no longer communicate with him
or her. Even when the person encounters some hardships, we do not think it
concerns us and therefore do not offer any support. Think about it, everyone. Is what we are doing correct? We are one body. If
we are to behave like this, who will be happy? Only the evil will be happy. In
fact, these are precisely the barriers and internal conflicts created by the old
forces that take advantage of our human attachments and notions. If we cannot
realized this, it is really dangerous. The evil is watching us closely. As the
barriers and internal conflicts enlarge, our gaps are also enlarged. The evil
will take advantage of the gaps. Therefore, we have already put ourselves in a
very dangerous situation. My fellow practitioners, let us discard the human
attachments and notions we have formed, appreciate the predestined relationships
among us, and help each other to improve together. When we see a practitioner's shortcomings, please do not discuss them behind
his or her back, do not spread negatives comments behind his or her back, and do
not unknowingly strengthen the energy field for the evil. We must not isolate
that person, distance ourselves from him or her or, worse, desert that
practitioner. We can directly point out the person's shortcomings and supplement
and harmonize his or her Dafa work. This should be the demeanor of a Fa-rectification
period Dafa disciple. Only by doing this can we be worthy of the glorious title
of "Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple." There is another reason, I believe, that causes the formation of barriers and
internal conflicts among practitioners. That is, we have slacked off in our Fa-study,
doing the exercises, and sending forth righteous thoughts. Sometimes our minds
are not calm even when we do study the "Fa" or send forth righteous
thoughts. Some of the practitioners I know do not even send forth righteous
thoughts on the hour. While other practitioners are sending forth righteous,
they are talking in the room next door, which affects other practitioners'
sending forth righteous thoughts. Some of these practitioners are veteran
practitioners that have been cultivating for more than ten years. It may be
forgivable if they are new practitioners, but it is not right for practitioners
that have been cultivating for so long. Fellow practitioners, we should recognize the evil's purpose, deny the evil's
interference, completely eliminate the barriers among practitioners, and prevent
the formation of internal conflicts. Let us give up all human attachments, let
go of all human notions, become more clear-headed, not be used by the evil, and
form an indestructible and powerful one body. It will make the evil tremble. We
should try to eliminate the evil as soon as possible. Finally, please allow me to share Master's poem, "Discarding
Attachments" from Hong Yin II (Translation
Version A). Discarding Attachments You may talk cultivation Please kindly point out anything inappropriate. Posting date: 9/18/2006 |
