Finding My Shortcomings by Observing a Fellow Practitioner's Upright Demeanor By Falun Gong practitioner from Shenyang
(Clearwisdom.net) One time I met a practitioner who was seemingly
ordinary and hadn't done anything famous. From observing her, however, I found
where I fell short in my belief in Master and the Fa. She had
harmonized her environment and did the three things in a dignified
and upright manner. Since the beginning of the persecution, her family has
supported her doing the three things. People around her also understand her. She
does not have the attachment to either showing off her achievements or to
preventing someone from discovering her work. When she made
truth-clarifying materials, she did it so naturally, as though she
were taking care of daily business. If other people came to her home, she just
naturally tidied it up without any intention of preventing what she had been
doing from being discovered. When she clarified the truth or made
truth-clarification materials, she behaved as naturally as though she was
eating. Master mentioned that everything in ordinary society is the result of Dafa
disciples' thoughts. Then, if we all believe in Master and the Fa, why are some
practitioners still arrested or persecuted? Actually, while talking about
believing in Master and the Fa, we still do Dafa work with ordinary people's
notions. When we do the three things, do we really feel comfortable in following
Master's words? Or, are we still worrying, thinking of what we might face if
something goes wrong, or trying to show ourselves off? In fact, I realized that
our dignified and upright manner does not require any approval or acknowledgment
from other people. If we show ourselves off, our level will drop. If we have the
intention of preventing other people from discovering what we do, others can
also sense it. We can melt into the Fa only after giving up these human notions
and selfishness. Therefore, when I observed my fellow practitioner doing the
three things in a relaxed and peaceful manner, I realized that if we do the
three things in a human way, we are just human. In reality, then, we do not
truly believe in Master and the Fa. Affected by my fellow practitioner, I worked on my level of belief in Master
and the Fa. I used the Fa to guide my words and behavior, and I never let doubts
take advantage when following Master's words. Now I can feel my strong thoughts
and supernatural power. January 26, 2008 Posting date: 2/6/2008
