By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Master said we can cultivate no matter which walk of life we are from. As Dafa practitioners conducting business, how do we cultivate? Especially under such an evil environment in Mainland China, how do we fulfill our historical mission of saving all beings and leave a path to later generations for reference?

What we do seems to be the same as what ordinary people do. However, since we are Dafa practitioners, the essence of what we do is different. Generally, a businessman's aim is to earn money and the extent of his success is measured by how much he earns and how big the scale of his business is. When he becomes well known, he can obtain respect from society. Sometimes he donates some of his money for social events, but the results are only to accumulate virtue.

As cultivators however, conducting business is just our job. Although we are earning money, striving for success and obtaining people's acknowledgment from a superficial view, it is just our job. Just like the purpose of conducting the NTDTV Chinese New Year Spectacular and selling the tickets is not to simply earn money but to save all beings. We should cultivate ourselves well, save all beings and leave a path for later generations to reference when we are conducting business.

We should let go of our various attachments in the environment of doing business. People we meet are beings who have a predestined relationship with us. They are beings we are going to save. No matter what we do, we can do well as long as we are on a righteous path. A cultivator can also do well in business. We are not greedy for money, but that does not mean the company does not make profits. We are not attached to success, but that does not mean the company will not succeed. We do not have attachments to doing things and reaching certain milestones, but that does not equal we do not do business. What we should keep firmly in mind is to validate the Fa, not ourselves.

This world is full of evil, various enticements, and all kinds of complicated human thoughts. Before money, people display even complicated attachments. We should discipline ourselves with the standard of the Fa, let go of those bad attachments, reach the realm of selflessness and altruism and return to our original nature. The level of our cultivation is also reflected in our work. We treat our customers and employees with benevolence and work for the benefit of the employees. However, everyone has his own fate. What we are more concerned with is the ultimate matter of their lives. In a company, we use traditional culture as company culture to substitute for the CCP party culture. We utilize various opportunities to clarify the truth, help people keep away from the evil CCP, help those who have a predestined relationship to obtain the Fa and lead hearts to kindness. As long as we walk every step righteously, people will realize the righteousness of Dafa practitioners' running businesses, Dafa practitioners' sincerity, kindness, tolerance, benevolence and dignity. We are also validating the Fa and fortifying Dafa practitioners' mighty virtue.

Like those Dafa practitioners in other walks of life, we can do well as long as we believe in Teacher and the Fa and study the Fa well and more. We can also leave a righteous path to later generations for reference.
