My Thoughts After Watching the Video of "Fa Teaching Given to the Australian Practitioners" By Fei Hong, a Falun Dafa practitioner in China (Clearwisdom.net) I started practicing Falun Gong in 1998. I have
never met Teacher in person, but I have the impression that Teacher has been
closely guiding me. Yesterday I had the privilege of watching the video of
"Fa Teaching Given to the Australian Practitioners" which took
place in August of this year. I watched it twice with great respect and had a
lot of thoughts. A few years ago when the persecution was most fierce and brutal, I was
responsible for producing materials. Every day, other than studying the Fa and
sending forth righteous thoughts, I produced information materials about the
persecution of Falun Gong. I barely left the place, and day in and day out,
there was nothing else in my life. I felt very lonely when my human thoughts
emerged. Once, when I was looking at piles of copies that needed to be collated
and stapled, I thought, "When can I stop doing this? Cultivation is really
hard. I might as well take a break." So I sat down on my bed and turned on
a fellow practitioner's MP3 player and listened to the Fa. I then heard a few
very serious words by Teacher about hardships in cultivation. I was very shocked at that moment. I could not get over Teacher's words for a
long time. Teacher knows everything, even a minute thought. I also realized that
Teacher was warning me that in such a dangerous environment, any slacking off on
my part could be an excuse for the evil to persecute me. During the next few years, whenever I was faced with tribulations and was
about to slack off and back down, I thought about Teacher's words and pushed
myself forward. Because of this, I was able to walk through this harsh
environment and shoulder many important responsibilities. Deep in my heart, I
was in awe of and full of respect and gratitude towards Teacher. Once again, when I am immersed in the teachings and the infinite grace of
Teacher, I feel that everything Teacher does is for us and for the future of
sentient beings. Even though it was a "stick warning," it has been
done for us. For the future of all sentient beings in the universe, and not to let down
Teacher, who has done so much to save us, what do we have left that we cannot
let go of? Why do we want to be that iron that cannot turn into steel? Please kindly point out anything inappropriate. Heshi. October 14, 2007 Posting date: 10/28/2007 |
