Get Rid of Jealousy

By Ming Xin

(Clearwisdom.net) During my recent cultivation experience, I suddenly realized that I did not work hard enough to get rid of jealousy. When I looked within myself, I found that jealousy was pretty intense in me. I also enlightened that jealousy can disintegrate the whole body and interfere with Fa Rectification.

I have always complained that fellow practitioners could not form a whole body and that fellow practitioners did not cultivate diligently enough. In the end I realized that I was blocked by jealousy. After I enlightened to the principle, I could feel that what was blocking me had disappeared and my heart became more compassionate. The whole environment also had miraculously changed. Fellow practitioners voluntarily came to share experiences and I could see that the whole body had been connected altogether. I feel that it is very important and essential to get rid of jealousy. I went over and understood better related teachings given by Master and felt deeply that jealousy is a truly detrimental attachment that directly leads to the persecution of Dafa. The whole persecution started because of "a buffoon's jealousy." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A" ).

If every practitioner paid enough attention to Master's teaching's on getting rid of jealousy in "Zhuan Falun", the evil energy field in mainland China would disappear quickly. The head of the evil forces would have nowhere to live, the arrangement of the old forces would be eliminated, and the persecution would end very quickly. If we had paid enough attention to getting rid of jealousy earlier, the persecution would not have happened and more sentient beings would have been saved. It is our human attachments that have helped the evil to grow and interfere with Fa Rectification.

When I shared my understandings with fellow practitioners, I emphasized what I have enlightened to about getting rid of jealousy, and everyone realized how important it is to get rid of jealousy and other human attachments. We should not allow our human attachments to interfere with Fa Rectification and commit sins during Fa Rectification. Getting rid of attachments and standing on the basis of Fa Rectification is to accommodate Master's Fa Rectification and follow the trend of Fa Rectification. This is the ultimate manifestation of altruism.

Fellow practitioners asked me to write down what I have enlightened so that everyone can improve together. I especially hope that practitioners from mainland China will pay attention to getting rid of jealousy, particularly jealousy that is very difficult to notice.

To change the environment of persecution, we should start by rectifying our hearts.

Please benevolently point out anything that is not correct in my sharing.
