Sharing Some Understandings about Ticket Sales

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in North America

(Clearwisdom.net) Ticket sales have been a major focus for many of us in North American and other major cities in the world. Many places are experiencing difficulties, including the city where I am located. I would like to share my cultivation experience as it relates to this issue. Why have tickets sale been so slow?

I think the main reason is that evil forces in other realms are trying to obstruct us. The scale and quality of this year's Divine Performing Arts show are unprecedented. In order to prevent sentient beings from being saved, large evil forces have concentrated in the hosting cities, especially New York. These evil forces try to fight us with their very lives, targeting the people who do not buy tickets.

If we disciples cannot see the nature of the matter, if we fail to upgrade in our cultivation, and if we only use ordinary people's methods to strengthen sales, my understanding is that it will remain difficult to achieve maximum ticket sales.

For instance, disciples in some cities have reduced ticket prices the last few days before a show to bolster sales. The old forces are controlling people in the other dimensions, and this ordinary people's solution will not work in other dimensions. The old forces block us, using the excuse that we practitioners are relying on ordinary people's ways. It is absolutely necessary to use ordinary media to advertise, but we should not rely on these methods alone. If we have human attachments to the effectiveness of advertising, the old forces might manipulate things such that the effect of the advertising is very limited

How should we handle these matters?

Personally, I enlightened that, firstly, we should study the Fa more, share our experiences and understandings based on the Fa, enable each disciple to upgrade on the Fa, treat the shows as directly to do with us, and take the initiative to promote tickets.

Secondly, we should mobilize each disciple to send forth righteous thoughts around the clock and strengthen the power to eliminate evil interference in other dimensions. Some disciples with their third eyes open saw a rapid reduction in the number of evil beings when we sent forth righteous thoughts on the hour, and as a result, the old force obstructions quickly weakened. I regret that we did not start sending forth righteous thoughts constantly a week or a month earlier. If we had, tickets sales would be much better now.

I realized this year's Chinese New Year Spectacular is different from past years' events. This year's show is a genuine examination of our personal cultivation, our ability to upgrade as one body, and our degree of belief in Master and Dafa.

"When disciples have ample righteous thoughts, Master has the power to turn back the tide." ("The Master-Disciple Bond," Hong Yin II).

How much do we believe in Master's teaching? How well have we manifested our faith in our righteous thoughts? We all know that when we face conflicts and difficulties, this is when ticket sales suffer. We should check to see if we have sufficient righteous thoughts. Is reducing the price a righteous act based on righteous thoughts? Should we resort to the ordinary method of reducing the price to spur sales, while not trying harder with our righteous thoughts?

Ticket sales in each city reflect the cultivation state of each region as a whole body. If any region's understanding of the Fa is better, they may tend to initiate more righteous action and send forth more righteous thoughts. That region would then naturally sell more tickets.

This article reflects my limited level of enlightenment. Please correct me wherever I am wrong.
