Thoughts after Reading "Human Attachments Aren't Always Difficult to Eliminate"

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) I read the article "Human Attachments Aren't Always Difficult to Eliminate" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2008/6/18/98247.html) by a practitioner from Langfang City. I felt very much like that practitioner after I finished reading the article.

Toward the end of 2006, a practitioner suggested that my wife and I build a truth clarification information materials production site in our home. After conquering my attachments and with help from fellow practitioners and Teacher, we have operated the site safely. We corrected ourselves when problems arose and constantly studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts.

Now as I look back, what I did was merely what I was supposed to do for the sentient beings and the Fa as a particle of the Fa. But in the process, my xinxing has dramatically improved. I used to occasionally think about "what if I got caught," though I knew that I shouldn't have thought that way. I couldn't suppressed this unrighteous thought. One time an evil thought arose and I asked myself, "Why do I make truth clarification materials and risk the great danger of getting caught?" (I still have thoughts like this, but only rarely.) A righteous thought then quickly arose, "No! I do it to meet the needs of Teacher's Fa rectification, for my fellow practitioners, and for the sentient beings." Immediately I discovered my attachments of fear and having misgivings. I totally understood why this happened after reading the practitioner's article. I could not have agreed more with what was said in the article.

My fellow practitioners, if we can all give up some of our human notions, try to think a little more about other practitioners, the Fa, and the world's people, and do a little more for them, the outcome might be" "'After passing the shady willow trees, there will be bright flowers and another village ahead!'" (Lecture Nine in Zhuan Falun). We might not have asked for such an outcome because the Fa tells us to have the righteous thought of "selflessness and altruism." However, if we carry ourselves this way, we are truly practicing and being a Dafa practitioner. We are purifying ourselves within the Fa and through solid cultivation.
