Break Through Notions and Interference from Old Forces, Do Not Wait for or Rely on Others When Doing Dafa Work
By Zhishui
(Clearwisdom.net) During the process of Fa-rectification, to fulfill
their oaths of validating Dafa and saving all beings, Dafa practitioners have
done a lot of work, each according to his or her capabilities and strong points.
This is the result of our persistence in breaking through difficulties, our
compassion for all beings, and our firmness in assisting Master in Fa-rectification.
As the process of Fa-rectification speeds up, more and more human beings who
were deceived by the lies of the evil forces have learned the truth about Dafa
and have therefore been saved from the possibility of being destroyed by the old
forces. This is the result of Master rectifying the Fa, of beings and gods at
various levels participating in the Fa rectification process, and also of Dafa
disciples validating Dafa among ordinary people, making use of the principles of
this human world.
However, some Dafa practitioners hold certain notions that sometimes stop
them from doing more Dafa work. They might think, "I'm not familiar with
this area. I don't know how to do this; therefore I can't do anything."
These notions have prevented us from doing a lot of work that should have been
done and could be done. What would happen if all Dafa practitioners thought this
way? On the other hand, what would the result be if everyone were to take the
initiative to look for Dafa work to do and learn the skills and technicalities
necessary to do it well? I believe many Dafa practitioners who are shouldering
important responsibilities for Dafa work have been through such a learning
process. The environment is created by us. We also need to learn everyday
people's skills and knowledge in order to do Dafa work well. Through our
cultivation Dafa has given us higher-level wisdom, and we must utilize this
wisdom to validate Dafa and save beings.
There are all kinds of Dafa work, and we do not have to wait until someone
tells us what to do. But some practitioners seem to have the attitude: "I
can't do anything since I don't know how," or "This is the type of
work that so and so should be doing." On the surface, this seems like just
an ordinary people's notion that one cannot break through, but actually it is
very often the result of direct interference from the old forces trying to stop
the Fa rectification process. We must keep very strong righteous thoughts to
break through this interference.
I have written this article to draw fellow practitioners' attention to this
issue.
