There Is a Fundamental Difference Between "Harmonizing with the Fa" and "Harmonizing Family Relationships" By a Falun Gong practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) When sharing cultivation experiences with fellow
practitioners, some practitioners discussed harmonizing family relationships.
They seemed to mean taking care of the family first, then doing the Dafa work
required of practitioners. It sounds right but I remembered that Master only
said that we "harmonize with the Fa" and maintain balanced
family relationships. On many occasions in the past when I tried to "harmonize family
relationships," I ended up slacking off in my cultivation. I was affected
by human attachments and was unable to be diligent in cultivation. Today when I
quieted down to reflect, I realized that there is a fundamental problem with the
understanding mentioned above. We harmonize with the Fa because we are Dafa
practitioners and we are required to do things well and do them righteously. We
need to let people see the wonderfulness of Dafa and thus offer salvation to
sentient beings. We should not be lost in human attachments. Whatever practitioners do, we must put validating the Fa as the utmost
priority. If not, we could become lost in the false things that we seek in the
world and thus miss the opportunity of this predestined relationship with Dafa
that comes by once in a billion years. July 12, 2008 Posting date: 7/22/2008 |
