About Using a Timer for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
By a practitioner in the United States
(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners have had on-line discussions about using
a timer for sending forth righteous thoughts. One said that some practitioners
had a sound file in their MP3 or MP4 players called "Music for Sending
Forth Righteous Thoughts" which contained the melody of Pu Du with
five-minute intervals so that it could be used to remind practitioners of the
time to change hand gestures in sending forth righteous thoughts. Sending forth
righteous thoughts is a very serious matter, as it is one of the three
things we need to do well during the Fa-rectification period, and the
author suggests that it may be inappropriate to use Pu Du as the
"music for sending forth righteous thoughts." I have the same feeling. The main issue is whether or not it is appropriate
to use Pu Du to mark the time. Pu Du and Ji Shi are Dafa
music, and they convey that Teacher is rectifying the Fa of the cosmos. Their
in-depth meanings of magnificence, compassion, and solemnity cannot be easily
understood by everyday people. Even practitioners can only understand up to a
point determined by our own levels. However, some of us have cut out a small
piece of it for other use and given it a new name: "Music for Sending Forth
Righteous Thoughts." I personally consider this inappropriate. Thus, I am
suggesting that we should use a clock sound or bell sound as the time reminder
for sending forth righteous thoughts. Recently the Minghui website provided a new MP3 file for this purpose, using
the sound of a real bell. After having downloaded and used it, I find it very
good. The bell sound is powerful and helpful in clearing my mind so that I can
focus. I would like to recommend it to practitioners who are in need. Here is
the link: http://media1.minghui.org/media/dafa/music/48k/fzn15.zip How to use: The sound of the bell is for practitioners' reference for the
time to send forth righteous thoughts. The total time is 15 minutes. The bell
sounds every five minutes: the first bell marks the time to start cleansing
thoughts, the second bell indicates the time to start sending forth righteous
thoughts, the third bell is to change the hand gesture if you want, and the
fourth bell signals the conclusion of sending forth righteous thoughts. March 19, 2008
