(Clearwisdom.net) Last night a fellow practitioner and I went out to distribute informational materials about Falun Dafa. As we walked, we started to talk about ordinary matters such as our families. The more we talked the more we wanted to talk. Unfortunately, whenever we tried to leave our materials, someone was always behind us. I said to the other practitioner, "Why are there so many people out tonight?" Although we walked around for a long time, we still didn't distribute many materials.
When we were getting anxious, we met up with Practitioner B. She asked us pleasantly, "You are here for business, aren't you?" We both nodded. We thought that we had run into her by chance, so we wanted to quickly leave after saying hello. To my surprise, she asked us to come to the side of the road and said to us in a low voice, "Make sure that you send forth righteous thoughts to clear the environment before you come out to distribute materials." I nodded my head but said in my heart: "Who doesn't know that? Why do you think you need to mention that to us?" She also said, "Don't chat about ordinary matters, and keep in mind that we have come here to save people, so no one can disturb us!" The other practitioner and I immediately knew that it was Teacher, seeing us walking and talking, using this practitioner's words to remind us. No wonder we had run into her! Practitioner B continued, "As you walk down the street, don't slink along. We should behave in an open and dignified manner, because we are doing the most righteous thing in the universe!"
After Practitioner B left, we no longer talked. Instead, we quietly sent forth righteous thoughts. Wherever we wanted to put out materials, there was no one around. After we finished distributing all the materials and were walking home, we saw some people coming. I thought, "Teacher saw our righteous thoughts emerge and helped us. Thank you, Teacher!"
When I previously read fellow practitioners' articles regarding the miraculous power of righteous thoughts on the Clearwisdom website, I always admired them. This time I experienced for myself the miraculous power of righteous thoughts. I am reminding myself that when I read practitioner's experience-sharing articles in the future, I should not only say that the practitioners cultivate well but also should truly understand why they cultivate well, learn from them, and act accordingly. I must study the Fa well and do the three things more diligently--only then will Teacher be reassured.
The above is my shallow understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.
