Eliminate Interference with Righteous Thoughts and Righteous Actions
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Chongqing City, Sichuan Province
(Clearwisdom.net)
Recently, fellow practitioners in some areas of the city of Chongqing have
been interfered with by "illness karma" on a large scale. Some
of these practitioners had physical problems for several years, and they
suddenly intensified. Some who had been diligent in doing the three
things, occasionally had physical interference, which they removed
quickly with righteous thoughts, but this time it took comparatively
longer. Some of these practitioners are coordinators, so it not only
affected their individual efforts in doing the "three things",
but also caused huge interference while validating the Fa and saving
sentient beings. Many practitioners put down their work, went to those
practitioners' home to send forth righteous thoughts, and often stayed
there for half a day, a whole day or even several days, but no obvious
changes occurred. Here I would like to share some thoughts. 1. All fellow practitioners should realize that there are evil lives in
other dimensions that are interfering with Falun Dafa practitioners'
efforts in saving people today, and we should firmly eradicate them with
righteous thoughts. In this critical moment in which we need to tell
people the facts and urgently save them, we can't afford to waste even a
bit of time. If we delay one day or half a day in our dimension, several
thousands of years may have already passed by in other dimensions and this
could be a huge loss for sentient beings in this universe. Now, we are
"snatching people" away from the old forces. We are really
racing with time. Therefore, whether it is a practitioner in an ordeal or
others who go and help, regardless of the result on the surface, we must
steadfastly send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil, eliminate
dark minions, and we cannot stop our righteous thoughts as long as the
evil interference continues. Surely, do not be disheartened when you don't
see the effects for a while, and definitely do not easily give up. 2. For practitioners encountering interference, I suggest that you look
for any obvious human notions in your daily cultivation. If you can't find
any on the surface, then you might calm down, and look for your
fundamental attachments. We all know the Fa-rectification has come to the
final stage, and that the universal law certainly has stricter and higher
requirements to Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners who are
destined to be the enlightened beings in the new cosmos. Veteran
practitioners have passed through so many tribulations and hardships, and
were able to enlighten to many things with the Fa; however, can we not
enlighten more righteously, and look inwards a bit deeper? Teacher said: "Your true improvement will always be first and
foremost, and the consummation of your cultivation is always first and
foremost." ("Teaching the Fa in Canada, 2006") Teacher
mentioned "true improvement." Well, true improvement does not
mean the average introspection or correcting some behavior on the surface.
Practitioners in tribulations should not excessively rely on other
practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts; they should calmly study
the Fa and truly improve. Many practitioners experienced this during solid
cultivation: when you truly improve from the Fa, at the moment of your
enlightenment, the evil will immediately be disintegrated. You will
neither stay in one state, nor waste precious time in your efforts to save
people! 3. Fellow practitioners who go to help should exchange their views with
other practitioners on the Fa, and not merely go there to send forth
righteous thoughts. Often when everyone sends forth righteous thoughts
together, he or she will become better. But when everyone leaves, he or
she is will return to the original state. Teacher says in Zhuan Falun:
"This is because in another dimension it will know whatever you want
to do--as soon as you think about it. When you try to grab it, it will
have already run away. Right when the patient goes out the door, it will
go back there immediately and the illness will recur." Teacher told
us that a permanent cure is to grab that other spirit. Of course
practitioners who experience physical interference are different than
ordinary people. When other practitioners extend help, they must help them
fundamentally, and not just send forth righteous thoughts. That is not
enough, they also need to patiently help practitioners to correct their
misunderstandings on the Fa, find their fundamental attachments and get
rid of them. 4. All practitioners in the area also need to look inward. We must
realize that interference to any practitioner is to target our whole body.
If our whole body has loopholes, the evil will have the opportunity to
interfere, even though the "illness karma" only appeared on some
practitioners. Actually, I already saw some bad phenomena in our local
area, but did not point them out due to my laziness and being afraid to
offend others. Today, I take this opportunity to talk about it, and hope
it is not too late. During the early stage of the persecution, practitioners in my area
encountered large scale illegal arrests, and being sentenced to forced
labor. However, practitioners were not scared during the most evil period
of the persecution and covered the streets, lanes, residences with
truth-clarification materials. In the face of another round of persecution
in 2003, practitioners put truth-clarification materials on the desk of
the section head of the legal department, thus powerfully suppressing the
evil. However, in the recent one to two years, along with a more relaxed
environment, practitioners' partial laziness also emerged, and they no
longer saved people with all their strength like they did several years
ago. Some practitioners are satisfied with handing out one or two flyers
per week, and think they've done things to save people. Some do not pay
attention to sending forth righteous thoughts, can't ensure that they
participate in the global sending forth righteous thoughts four times a
day, not to mention doing the local ones at 8, 9 and 10 o'clock. Some
coordinators clearly knew that in some Fa study group things occurred that
did not comply with the Fa, but were preoccupied with doing
housework, and thus neglected this serious matter. Some practitioners
feared that family members (non-practitioners) would get angry, and did
not dare to destroy books and materials containing communist content in
their homes. In our area, we hardly have any posters in public areas depicting the
facts or telling people to quit the CCP. On the other hand, evil slogans
in abundance are everywhere. Facing these evil banners, some practitioners
became numb, did not immediately send forth righteous thoughts and thought
as long as the banners did not mention Dafa directly, they did not target
Dafa. However, many slogans have appeared again that were often used by
the evil to slander Dafa and fabricate rumors in the earliest days of the
persecution. Everyday people have been repeatedly brainwashed and
persecuted by this evil propaganda. If we do not clear out these evil
banners, they will continue to poison people. Although we made efforts to
save people in these last few years, and lots of lives were able to
understand the truth, quite a lot of people are still confused. Can we
helplessly watch them being poisoned again? As a matter of fact, everything was caused because we did not study the
Fa well. Some practitioners only read Zhuan Falun, and
only read recent lectures when they were first published, but do not
frequently and repeatedly study them. Other practitioners have not read Minghui
Weekly for quite some time, and think it does not have anything
meaningful for them. Some practitioners pay more attention to everyday
people's human rights matters, and are interested in Wang Zhaojun's open
letter, the Tibet incident, whether the Olympics will be held and so on.
They spend large amounts of time on these matters, instead of using their
limited time on the most important matter of saving people. All of these
things must be corrected at once. Fellow practitioners, there is not much time left for Fa-rectification.
We are not attached to time, but we must make the best use of our time,
eliminate all interference with righteous thoughts and righteous actions,
and try our best to save more people. If there is anything inappropriate in the above, please kindly point it
out.
