Maintaining Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions at All Times
By a university student and practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) I have recently read some articles by fellow
practitioners on the Clearwisdom.net website regarding a phenomena that
practitioners shared about sending forth righteous thoughts and rectifying the
Fa, and also about the decline of human society. The articles made me realize
that we should send forth righteous thoughts at all times, and we should give no
breaks to the evil, so that the righteous energy will become stronger and
stronger. I used to send forth righteous thoughts when I was out in the everyday
people's world, while walking, waiting for or riding on a bus, etc. However, I
stopped doing so due to some habits developed from my everyday life. I noticed
that when I was doing that, I was righteous and strong, and unafraid if anything
suddenly happened to me. By doing so, I was also able to discover my
attachments, sentimental elements, or impure thoughts in my mind, and realized
that I wasn't diligent enough. In our daily lives, we have a lot of everyday people's stuff to do besides
studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. Actually, the everyday
people's environment is very filthy and full of evil elements. Thus, we should
send forth righteous thoughts no matter where, and at all times. One practitioner wrote in an article on Clearwisdom that he could see with
his third eye that the sky turned clear, like "the heavens clear, the
cosmic body transparent" ("After the Catastrophe," in Hong Yin)
as another practitioner passed by who was sending forth righteous thoughts while
riding his bike. If all of us can do this too, the places we pass by will become
more and more righteous and the energy field will expand. We can "put a
stop to its downward slide" ("Illuminating All," in
Hong Yin II) ["it" refers to the troubled world],
because we are on the righteous side and it's our responsibility to eliminate
the evil, and at the same time it will be more effective in saving sentient
beings because the energy field is like a buffer zone which can prepare us for
sudden incidents that arise to test us. I am a university student in my second year. Elements of lust, sentimentality
and the evil Chinese Communist Party are everywhere on campus. Young people's
thinking is actually quite narrow and restricted. I think I should send forth
righteous thoughts everywhere and at all times, when I am walking, going to
class, taking a break, or waiting for classmates. I send forth righteous
thoughts when passing by corners or bulletin boards, in front of large screens,
in libraries, or while reading textbooks, to strongly eliminate the CCP's evil
spirits and deities interfering with Fa-Rectification. This does require
persistence. If I am not diligent, I can easily begin to slack off. And I find
it hard to focus, too, because since I can't cross my legs to sit in the
meditation posture, I get distracted more easily this way. I think that I should
cultivate more steadfastly and diligently in order to do it better. I also enlightened that the evil spirits of the CCP are trying to hide as
their number dwindles. Several societal systems may be the places they like to
hide. The first one is the education system because the CCP has always poisoned
students' minds, from elementary school to the university. The second system is
the propaganda system including newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, books,
bulletin boards, and various banners and slogans. The third system is the
administrative system through which the CCP has been controlling people to
commit great sins against Dafa. Finally, the fourth is the state forces
including the troops, police, and special agents who assert the CCP's power, to
maintain their regime. Perhaps we can focus our righteous thoughts on these
places. Additionally, I realized that I had obtained some ideas from everyday life
that could be harmful in saving sentient beings. I asked Teacher to help
eliminate them, and I also added one thought into the five-minute mind
cleansing: "Eliminate the human elements harmful to saving sentient beings
that I have obtained from ordinary person's life, and eliminate the barriers
between me and sentient beings due to my unwise behaviors." In short, I just want to try my best to save sentient beings by providing
supportive environments and eliminating harmful elements. April 5, 2008 |
