Coordinators Need to Help Fellow Practitioners Keep Up With Fa-Rectification
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Several years ago when the persecution was still
rampant in our area, our local coordinator actively participated in the
operation of truth-clarification materials production sites. As a
result, truth-clarifying materials and Dafa materials were circulating among
practitioners regularly. The steady operation of the materials production sites
played an important role in exposing the evil and clarifying the truth, even
though only a small number of practitioners participated in the operation of the
sites. As Fa-rectification progresses and the evil factors have been reduced, the
requirements for us are getting higher. As a coordinator, one must study the
Fa well and send forth righteous thoughts well; and one must always
look inward when conflicts arise. In other words, one must cultivate oneself
well. As more and more materials sites are set up and more practitioners get
involved, every one of us must think about how to do things better, more
efficiently and more effectively, so as to save more people. When Dafa disciples came to the human world to help Teacher during Fa-rectification,
we believed, "When I get lost in the human world, the disciples around me
will wake me up." Teacher also mentioned in many lectures, "I don't
want to leave a single student behind." Therefore, waking up the
practitioners around us is part of our historical mission and duty. One of the important tasks for coordinators is helping all practitioners come
out and improve as one body so that we can do well in the three
things, especially in clarifying the truth face-to-face and advising
others to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated
organizations. In looking at past experiences, we see that those practitioners who study the
Fa in groups year-round improve very fast. Once a group Fa-study is established
and when practitioners search inward when conflicts occur, any conflicts are
resolved quickly. Group Fa-study is an indispensable factor in improving
ourselves. In addition, practitioners develop the understanding of disciples
acting as one body and learn how to cooperate with each other. Most
practitioners in those environments do well in the "three things",
especially in clarifying the truth face-to-face. In addition, practitioners are
able to share experiences in a timely manner. As for those practitioners who do not study the Fa in groups, many of them
are still having all kinds of tribulations at home and in personal cultivation.
That is because the practitioner has not walked the cultivation path arranged by
Teacher. The cultivation format Teacher left us involves studying the Fa in
groups, doing exercises in groups and participating in Fa conferences. Coordinators have more contact with more practitioners. We tend to know the
situation of practitioners in our region. We need to help those practitioners
come to group Fa-study and participate in experience sharing at Fa conferences. A coordinator should actively organize Fa conferences. Teacher said in
"To the Australia Fa Conference," "Fa conferences are grand
gatherings of Dafa disciples, are good opportunities to help each other improve,
and testify to [the power of] good Fa-study." Teacher also said in "To
the Midwest Fa Conference in Minnesota," "[I know that] doing a good
job of summarizing and exchanging experiences in cultivation and related to
saving sentient beings, as with doing better at fulfilling what Dafa disciples
ought to do, are things that you the disciples of Dafa hope to achieve by
attending the conference. I hope that all of you will benefit from this Fa
conference." Recently, our local area successfully held three small-scale Fa conferences.
Everyone benefited from the experience sharing in those conferences. Those
practitioners who have been clarifying the truth every day realized that they
cannot only think about clarifying the truth themselves. They need to help more
practitioners to come out and cooperate with each other and save more sentient
beings. One elderly practitioner who had just stepped forward attended a Fa
conference. When he saw a room full of people he started to worry about whether
the police would come. Halfway through the conference, all his bad thoughts and
fears were dissolved. When the experience sharing finished and everyone had
left, this elderly practitioner still did not want to leave and wanted to share
with fellow practitioners a little longer. He talked about his own experiences
and said, "I will definitely come to the next conference." The one practitioner who made the biggest and quickest improvement provided
the place for the conference. This practitioner has a very good environment at
home. Her home is spacious, her husband was on a business trip and her daughter
works in another city. But she was concerned about providing the place for the
conference because of fear. After sharing with other practitioners, she realized
that the attachment to fear is selfish and is something one needs to get rid of
in order to improve. She had progressed from thinking of her own improvement to
thinking of the improvement of the whole body of practitioners and harmonizing
what Teacher wants. She went from realizing that she was still following the old
forces' arrangements and had not negated the persecution in her mind, to
realizing that everything she possessed was for Dafa. How great was her
improvement! Everyone knows that everything is done by Teacher. When we are immersed in
the Fa, we have the power of Fa. As coordinators, we are also continuously
correcting and purifying ourselves when doing specific tasks. So who are the
coordinators? No one assigns them, no one appoints them. When we all actively do
things that are beneficial for the whole body and to saving people, every one of
us could be a coordinator. We all play our roles. Do not wait and do not depend
on others. |
