Some Thoughts on the Saying "Putting Our Improved Understandings Into Action"

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) "Putting our improved understandings into action" is a frequently heard expression among practitioners, and one that I consider to be correct. I believe practitioners should not interfere with what other practitioners do during truth clarification work or distributing truth clarification materials. If practitioners are forced to do truth clarification work when they have the attachment of fear for a particular task or activity, they may end up with a mental burden from that pressure. In my understanding, if practitioners don't themselves understand what they are asked to do, but just involuntarily do it, they will be taken advantage of by the evil. We also have a duty to be responsible for other practitioners. Those practitioners who still can't clarify the truth yet, also talk about "putting their understandings into action." In other words, they don't do what they don't understand.

Actually, it is not that we don't understand our responsibilities as practitioners during the Fa-rectification period; it is that we are blocked by our attachment of fear from following Teacher's arrangement.

Teacher said, "As Dafa disciples, you need to validate the Fa and do what Dafa disciples are supposed to do. You can't take such a long time to change yourself. There's no time for that." ("Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital, 2007")

The Fa-rectification is in its final period; the evil has become less, and our environment is now better. To save sentient beings and ourselves, we don't have time to hang around. We already know what we should do. What else can't we give up? Once the Fa-rectification ends, we will not have any chances to build our own mighty virtue. Also, if we don't complete our vows and do well, we will bring losses to the whole universe and sentient beings. We were created by Dafa for this period of time. We don't have any excuse not to clarify the truth. As one practitioner said, "We need to cooperate with others and harmonize what Teacher thinks because our Teacher's will is the cosmic climate. Lets get rid of the attachment to fear and use our limited time to do the three things better.
