By Xinjing, a Falun Dafa practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net)

Sending forth righteous thoughts is one of the three things that Master asks Dafa disciples to do well. After Master published the article "Thoroughly Dissolve the Evil," I strengthened my sending forth righteous thoughts. I especially went to the dark den of evil forces to send forth righteous frequently. I would like to share some of my recent understandings and thoughts with my fellow practitioners.

Clearly Understanding the Principle of the Fa being the Basis of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

After Master published the new article, "Thoroughly Dissolve the Evil," Fa-rectification entered a new stage. When I prepared to send forth righteous thoughts, I always recited "eliminate" as "eradicate" and I forget to recite "dissolve all." So, when I sent forth righteous thoughts, I could feel my thoughts were weak and I could not concentrate. Also, I was easily interfered with by outside factors. For example, when I heard the authorities were planning to do some bad things or that police vehicles were around my building or a suspicious person was walking around, I would target those goals when sending forth righteous thoughts. This weakened the effect of eliminating all of the evil.

After analyzing myself, I figured out the reason was my attachment to suspicion that caused demonic interference from my own mind and weakened the effect of sending forth righteous thoughts. Another reason was my attachment to self that caused selfishness instead of selflessness. As long as there was a slight sign of trouble, I wanted to protect myself first, which caused sending forth righteous thoughts to become self-protection. It certainly stopped me from reaching the standard.

Another reason was because of a lack of compassion. I attached a time line to the Fa-rectification and hated the evils that persecute Dafa practitioners, so I always recited "eliminate" as "eradicate." All these are the reflection of the old universe's elements and are distorted notions in my mind. I must get rid of those by cultivating myself.

After repeatedly studying Master's Fa, I understand the principles of the Fa more clearly. Right now, all the beings and elements that interfere with the Fa-Rectification are being completely dissolved. The very few left have been driven to the dark dens of evil and gather there. Master asks Dafa disciples to thoroughly dissolve all evil beings and elements that persecute Dafa disciples and clear away the evil circumstances in other dimensions or in our dimension. This is our responsibility. It is best to do things in accordance with the Fa that Master taught us, whether we can understand it or not. Master said in Zhuan Falun, in reference to the Buddha Law's divine powers that we cultivate, "Their might is infinite, and they take effect in every dimension."

If the attachments of self, fear, suspicion, and not completely believing are not given up, the power of our righteous thoughts and the effect of eliminating the evil will be weakened. After I realized this, no matter where I sent forth righteous thoughts, I become tranquil very quickly. Moreover, I was eager to send forth righteous thoughts more and more. I felt the significance and urgency of our responsibilities.

Sending forth righteous thoughts is a responsibility of Dafa disciples in the Fa-Rectification period. It is our mighty virtue if we can do it well. Otherwise, it will be our loss. Sending forth righteous thoughts is not a dispensable task. We cannot just go through the motions. I also was lax myself sometimes, was busy doing some others things, and did not send forth righteous thoughts. The major interference was my pursuit of comfort. When this happens, we must have very strong righteous thoughts and say, "I will try my best to do the three things well, whether the environment is difficult or easy. The easier the environment is, the more serious the test is, and the higher the standard we must maintain.

In order to reduce the losses and save sentient beings better, I use every chance to send forth righteous thoughts in addition to the global and regional times for sending forth righteous thoughts. For example, whenever I go to a government office or pass the police department, the 610 Office, or the local police station, I send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity. After I had the idea of using every chance to send forth righteous thoughts in my mind, Master has arranged many chances for me to do this. Nearly every month I have the chance to go to those places. I also send forth righteous thoughts when I walk, take the bus. and pass out truth-clarifying materials. During my business trip, I sent forth righteous thoughts continuously for seven to eight hours on the road.

During the holidays and on vacation days, besides truth-clarifying activities, I also send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity to the dark dens of evil to dissolve them, especially after Master published the article "Thoroughly Dissolve the Evil." As long as I have time, I send forth righteous thoughts in close proximity until the evil is thoroughly dissolved. At the same time, I extend the time of global sending forth righteous thoughts to more than 30 minutes. I also guarantee the quality of my righteous thoughts.
