The Enlightenment of a Practitioner Regarding the Importance of Making Good Impressions
By a practitioner in Inner Mongolia
(Clearwisdom.net) As Falun Dafa practitioners are being persecuted,
police and the public often say that practitioners are not leading normal lives.
"Just look at his (her) house! Just look at his (her) dirty kid! He (she)
doesn't care about the family. You should clean the house instead of practicing
Falun Gong." These statements show that evil forces are confusing people
and diverting them from the Fa. However as practitioners, we should also look within. Are these statements
made because some practitioners are not doing well in house cleaning and
personal appearance? Teacher has lectured about this issue while teaching the Fa.
If we practitioners are dirty the whole day, even smelling bad, and others stay
away from us for this reason, then how can we tell people the facts? Will others
be willing to listen to our words? From the standpoint of saving sentient
beings, we should not set up obstacles that prevent us from clarifying the
facts. The ancient people said, "A clean, neat appearance reflects purity
instead of magnificence." They said this because neatness reflects a
person's character and morals. As my level and education are limited, if anything is inappropriate, please
correct me with mercy. Heshi!
