(Minghui.org) If a Falun Gong practitioner can maintain a compassionate state, he or she will be able to manifest the energy from his or her level of cultivation. The more compassionate one is, the stronger a practitioner's energy and supernormal powers obtained from Dafa cultivation.

If a practitioner is always in a peaceful and compassionate state, he becomes able to suppress and eliminate not only his own incorrect factors but also external interference and evil elements. With such a state, the effect of studying the Fa, practicing the exercises, sending righteous thoughts and raising awareness about the persecution is optimized.

We should form a habit of keeping a compassionate state in dealing with others. The more compassionate we are the stronger the positive factors we possess. The energy emitted from a practitioner with such a compassionate state is beneficial to the surrounding environment. We do not try to change anything intentionally, but our compassionate state makes our words and actions achieve positive results.

If we fail to maintain a compassionate state we will find ourselves moved by the bad factors of the other person during a conflict. We might resort to ordinary people's measures to deal with the other person, indicating that we have fallen into the trap of the other party's bad factors. We would thus be at the same level as the other person. We would separate ourselves from our positive energy. The consequences would be unpredictable. Our human sides would become terribly upset and tired.

If we are moved by the bad factors of another person it indicates that we ourselves have similar bad factors. It points out our own problem. We need to rid ourselves of our bad factors or send righteous thoughts to eliminate them. This is an improvement in cultivation.

The above is my personal understanding; please correct me if anything is not in line with the Fa.
