(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, we studied Master's latest lecture "Be More Diligent." Studying this lecture has made the local practitioners further understand the importance of coordinating as one body in Fa-rectification projects and on fulfilling their missions and vows.
Master's further encouragement and urging on of Dafa disciples to do even better at coordinating as one body really hit home for me. Although Master brought up the coordination issue pertaining to practitioners outside of mainland China, I view it as a fundamental principle of the Fa, and therefore, it is applicable to all Dafa disciples throughout the world. We should all strive to become selfless and altruistic, and to let go of human notions and the concept of "self," harmonizing with the group.
Yet, I also see practitioners with two types of extreme thoughts seeking justification in Masters' lectures in order to validate their own human notions. In one example, the main coordinators on some projects emphasized others' absolute submission to the project structure. To prove their point and that they had been correct all along, they directed those who had disagreed in the past to openly acknowledge their mistakes. The coordinators' intentions were good--wanting to bring everybody together on Fa-rectification projects in order to achieve better results in saving sentient beings and walking well on the path designated by Master. However, we should avoid extremes. The ability to harmonize with the group is the manifestation of a great practitioner who has abandoned the ego to "self" and whose existence is solely for rectifying the Fa and saving sentient beings. This is something that cannot be forced onto someone. In the other instance, another practitioner analyzed Master's lectures, spending a great deal of time differentiating among the terms coordinator, main coordinator, project coordinator, principal coordinator, etc. What was the purpose? To me, this is denying the requirement to let go of "self" to support the overall coordinator of a project.
I personally believe that what Master says is the Fa. It points us in the right direction and it reminds us of the importance of saving sentient beings. If we can all coordinate well in Fa-rectification projects, we can save more people more efficiently and effectively. I require myself to completely let go of ego, to focus on how to better save sentient beings instead of on the projects themselves, and to focus on helping others and myself rectify ourselves using the Fa, so as to improve as a group and to avoid going off track. If we can keep in mind the overall picture of Master's Fa-rectification all the time, if we can consider the overall outcome of saving sentient beings from a regional perspective, and if we are all willing to truly let go of our self and ego, how would our acts not be righteous as one body? Certainly we can harmonize to create an indestructible body.
The above is only my personal understanding. Please kindly point out anything that is improper.
