(Clearwisdom.net) I am a practitioner from a small, remote town in Inner Mongolia. I began to practice Falun Dafa in February 1999. For ten years, my firm believe in Master and Dafa, and Master's benevolent mercy has made it possible for me to walk the path of cultivation. After reading Master's "Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan", I felt that many practitioners in our local area had an unwillingness to look inward and accept criticism. Some practitioners were unable to handle criticism and would explode easily. I have the same attachment. Sometimes our behavior was not in accord with the Fa's requirements. Master said: "They don't say a word, and they seem perfectly calm, but inside they're really upset and just holding it in." ("Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan") We are practitioners whose lives have been changed by Master. No matter what we encounter in our life or in our work, nothing is accidental. Everything is related to cultivation. From a simple thought to an event, we should all use Master's Fa to measure our actions.

There is a practitioner in our area who used to be a coordinator. Over the years she has done quite a lot of work to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. Twice she was taken to a forced labor camp, but as soon as she was released, she went right back to her coordinator's role. She has done a lot of coordination work, and we've all witnessed that. A few months ago she was reported while clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and was taken to the detention center. Thanks to Master's protection and fellow practitioners' intense righteous thoughts, she was released. However, she was arrested again shortly after she arrived home and was forced to leave home. According to practitioners who have worked closely with her, she tended to be inflexible when she coordinated Dafa related projects and she had difficulty with other practitioners' criticism of her. Although she had cultivated well in other aspects, she still had the attachment to not being criticized. I do not mean to point out her shortcomings and criticize her, but our fellow practitioners are a mirror reflection of our own attachments. We should all look deeply inward to see whether we have eliminated this attachment to being criticized. We must hurry up and eliminate this attachment so we can meet the Fa's requirements.

We must cultivate ourselves well during this critical period of time when Dafa disciples are working ten times harder to clarify the truth and save sentient beings. Master is waiting for us to become mature. We must meet Master's requirements and be worthy of his benevolent compassion to save us.
