Focus on Texas: Clear the Field and Eliminate the Interference with Righteous Thoughts By Qing Shan
October 5, 2002
(Clearwisdom.net) We should consider Jiang's visit to the U.S in terms of
the overall Fa rectification strategy. I have had several thoughts that I have
listed below to share with fellow practitioners.
It is Crucial and Associated with the Overall Fa Rectification
The old forces have arranged both the Communist Regime and the Democratic
Free World, and evenly balanced the two. The old forces' intention is to destroy
all beings. In the last stage, even people in democratic countries are facing
the danger of being dragged into the abyss. Right now, the widespread trend of
choosing money over justice as observed in Western governments and corporations
reminds us of a statement in the Bible's "Book of Revelation," which states that
the "great whore" commits adultery with kings of many nations. The U.S is the
leader of democratic countries; it is also the place where many Dafa
practitioners as well as Master stay. Yet Jiang dares to come here and spread
poison. We can see how aggressive it is. It is also a manifestation of the
desperate final struggle of the evil old forces.
Texas and its state government are placed in a critical position at this
crucial time; thus the evil's interference is most focused here. This is
reflected in many aspects, and some have even been arranged over a long period
of time. Dafa practitioners in other parts of the U.S. can at least start right
now to send forth righteous thoughts to help eliminate interference and clear
the dimensional field of the greater environment.
This is not only the work of Dafa practitioners in Texas; it is also the work
of all Dafa practitioners, especially the U.S. practitioners. Master is
benevolent. Practitioners who have not yet stepped forward should not miss this
opportunity again. Maybe many practitioners cannot directly participate in this
Texas project because of other things, such as other projects, jobs and family,
but Dafa practitioners' righteous thoughts are powerful. The key is to
understand it from the perspective of the Fa and to take it seriously in our
minds.
Clearing the Field with Righteous Thoughts is Top Priority
Jiang's life is supported by many evil beings, and he needs such a material
field to preserve his life wherever he goes. This time, clearing the field in
the U.S. is the natural responsibility of all U.S. practitioners. It will also
reflect the macroscopic cooperative ability of the U.S. practitioners. This
process is very important. As for the results, Master told us to do three things
well -- study the Fa, clarify the truth and send forth righteous thoughts. If we
can do all three tasks well without emphasizing one over the other or missing
any one of them, then the outcome will naturally be the best.
We realized that among the three tasks, clarifying the truth and sending
forth righteous thoughts with a clear aim can both work directly to achieve the
effect of "de-poisoning" in a centralized manner. We, especially the U.S
practitioners, should pay full attention to this issue. Those who have been
doing it should keep up the good work, and those who haven't should start
immediately. In fact, some groups have already started to send forth righteous
thoughts at frequent intervals in addition to clarifying the truth about Jiang's
planned visit, both of which work very well for specific local efforts and
clearing the evil field on a larger scale.
Do It Ahead of Time in a Planned Manner
Before, we did things passively many times. In the beginning, we all started
at a slow pace without any sense of urgency, and we got flustered and hurried
when we finally realized the urgency. Our behavior in the past shows that, on
one hand, our practitioners do not have a visible organization, which is good;
on the other hand, it also shows that our mentality is not yet mature with
respect to understanding issues and doing things together.
The Fa rectification has different requirements for us now, so we must do
better to keep up with its needs. We learned about Jiang's visit quite early,
but if we keep thinking, "It's still early," then it's likely that we will make
the same old mistakes.
The Issue of Distance
[Sending forth righteous thoughts in] "Close proximity" is certainly
good. However, a practitioner talked about the lesson he learned from sending
forth righteous thoughts in Russia about being too attached to "close." We
should instead solidly do well the three things Master mentioned. We should act
like divine beings who suppress the evil, extinguish the chaos and let the evil
disintegrate by itself within the field of righteous thoughts. Therefore, the
key is to pay serious attention to this issue as early as possible, and improve
ourselves in terms of xinxing and understandings of Fa principles, instead of
just thinking about sending righteous thoughts in "close proximity" only once at
the end of the month [when Jiang visits the US]. Of course, close
proximity has its benefits and we should take full advantage of it; however our
minds should be mature. Maybe the previous events were only exercises for us to
improve. When we can do everything well, then perhaps it will be the real thing.
Value the Process; Do Not Be Attached to the Result
From the many experiences of the past several years, again and again we have
seen for ourselves that everyday people pursue things they want with
attachments, but cultivators give up attachments to get what they want. Only by
truly improving our xinxing can we achieve the state of "Do but pursue not,
Often stay in the Dao." ["In the Dao", Master Li's poem collection
Hongyin, unofficial translation] Only by "Do but pursue not" can
we avoid being trapped within details and swayed by superficial things such as
quantity of work completed; only by "Often stay in the Dao" can we achieve the
best results in all aspects, but these results are absolutely not the fruit of
pursuit. Therefore, we have to study the Fa no matter how busy we are; we must
study it with a full heart, because studying the Fa well is what guarantees that
we will not become attached to any illusions of the human world.
Above are some conclusions from a discussion among Dafa practitioners. Please
point out anything inappropriate.
