Master Compassionately Enlightens Me with Every Step I Take
By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) My husband and I started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. It has been over 10
years since we attained the Fa. The following are my Fa-Rectification
experiences before 2006, under the mercy of our mighty Master's protection. In January 2002, my son asked me to come help him to take care of his
daughter. So my husband and I went to my son's home, located in the capital of
the province. I had the wish to save sentient beings no matter where I went.
There might be some sentient beings that needed me to save them there. After I got to my son's home, the first time I sent forth righteous thoughts
there, I felt an unbearable pain as soon as I put my legs into the lotus
position. I thought this must be an interference. Usually I could sit for 90
minutes when I practice meditation, but this time my legs became painful right
after I put them into position. I kept my legs in this position to finish the 15
minutes of sending forth the righteous thoughts, and my whole body was sweating
due to the pain. The second day, after I finished the global sending forth the
righteous thoughts at 6 o'clock, I continued to finish 30 minutes of meditation.
Then I sent forth the righteous thoughts for another 15 minutes--until 7
o'clock--and then another 30 minutes of meditation. I kept doing this for five
days and I did not feel any leg pain as I had before. I saw that some strangely
shaped evil beings and ghosts were disintegrated when I sent forth righteous
thoughts. It was not accidental that I had come here. There were sentient beings
that needed me to save them. However, I did not do it well. In June, my daughter came to visit me. My grandson had just turned three and
was very naughty. Every day when I started to send forth the righteous thoughts,
he kept calling "Grandma" once he saw me sit down. If I did not answer
him, he would sometimes push me or sometimes hold my hands and would not let me
send forth righteous thoughts. Later on, I only used one hand to send forth the
thought for five minutes. I was thinking, "Just be patient with the child
for couple of days! He won't be here for long. It will be better after a couple
of days." Then I had a dream. In it, I heard many voices calling for the
frog. Where is the frog? I raised my head and saw that everywhere there were
sunken places. There was only one road in front of me. I looked ahead and saw
that a frog with two bulging eyes was walking step by step full of joy. It was
not afraid of me, and it came towards me, because it could go nowhere else since
the only way out was beside me. I recalled the scene in the dream after I woke
up and realized that the frog in the dream was the biggest demon. I felt as if I
had awakened from a dazed state. I had not cooperated well in sending forth
righteous thoughts at the four global times and was taken advantage by the
demon. It interfered with me by offering its affection, and I accepted it
without any qualms and did not deal with it with my righteous thoughts. Master
asks us to do the three things well and to save sentient beings. I
did not do the three things well and I was too far from Master's requirement. Strive forward together with fellow practitioners. When I went out to clarify the truth in April 2004, I got in
touch with a fellow practitioner. She had fallen down in her cultivation. She
never gotten in touch with other practitioners after July 20, 1999; never send
forth the righteous thoughts; never "clarified the truth;" and never
read any of Master's new scriptures or the weekly news. I asked her if she was
stilling cultivating. She said, "Yes." I told her that I would help
her to catch up with all the new scriptures, and it was my responsibility to do
it since I had met her. We made an appointment to see each other on Tuesday at
2:00 p.m. When I was cooking that Tuesday morning, the handle of the pot was
loose and all the contents poured onto my feet. My feet blistered right away. I
enlightened that this was evil interference. It tried to hinder me from meeting
this fellow practitioner. I strengthened my thought that nobody could hinder me
and I would walk along the road arranged by Master. In the afternoon, I prepared
Master's new scriptures. When I was putting on my shoes, it was very painful,
but I was determined to go. After I arrived at the meeting place, I sat on the
chair, thinking: "Let go of the pain!" At that moment, it was no
longer painful, and my feet looked normal, only a little bit red and swollen.
When the other practitioner came to see me, I told her what had happened. She
said that she did not feel good about this. I said, "It's fine. It is
interference, and we have to deal with it correctly." She replied, "I
have seen that you have endured much pain for me, I should practice well."
I said, "That's right. We should strive forward together and do the three
things well as Master requires." I taught her the Fa Rectification verses
and the gestures. Now this fellow practitioner is doing very well and does the
things that practitioners should do. When I first started to distribute copies of the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party and talk about withdrawing, the
people I spoke to were all my relatives and close friends. I also clarified the
truth to everyone that came to my house to visit. I've always felt strange out
in public. I think that I do not understand the situations and moods of
strangers, so I do not feel safe when I clarify the truth to them. It is my
selfish fear. When I recognized this attachment, I started to reject it and not
acknowledge it. Sometimes I can resist it, but sometimes I cannot get rid of it
completely. Here at the end of Master's Fa Rectification period, I must get rid
of this mentality of fear throughly. I should also tell people about the
"three withdrawals" (from the Chinese Communist Party, the Young
Pioneers, and the Youth League) when I give them the Nine Commentaries. In the past 10 years since I have attained the Fa, every single step that I
have taken forward is a reminder of Master's mercy. I have put too much
attention on letting Master take care of me. We need to remember Master's
teaching every single moment and to continue to do the three things well
according to Master's requirement. We need to save the sentient beings that
should be saved, reach consummation, and return to the heavens with Master. September 9, 2007 |
