Steadfastly Walking Down the Fa-Rectification Path By a practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net)
Editors' Note: As the author says, along his Fa-rectification path, there
were "not many spectacular manifestations in this human world." However, this
practitioner's every step down his Fa-rectification path was a validation of the
Fa. His deeds were truly magnificent and are engraved in the history of the
cosmos. We hope that more practitioners will share their Fa-rectification
experiences, in whole or in part.
I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, and currently homeless, forced to wander
about like a nomad to avoid further persecution. I steadfastly walked each step
along my Fa-rectification path, although there were not many spectacular
manifestations in this human world. Here, in order to validate the Fa, I would
like to share with my fellow practitioners some of the experiences I have had
along the way.
Two years ago, I lost contact with my local practitioners, so I started my
own truth-clarification materials distribution center. I downloaded
truth-clarification materials from the Internet, which I then distributed to
non-practitioners. I did all this alone. I would make as many materials as
possible when time allowed. Sometimes, I needed to make a certain number of
materials, however, I would get anxious when I felt I didn't have enough time to
get it done. In this kind of situation, Dafa work negatively affected my Fa-study.
When this happened, I would stop making truth-clarification materials and study
the Fa. After I calmed down, I would resume the material-making process.
I remember that I read a report on Clearwisdom in which wicked people had
claimed that a person would be sentenced to a certain number of years'
imprisonment if he or she made three hundred truth-clarification materials. I
immediately realized that I should make the truth-clarification materials in a
dignified manner and deny the evil's arrangement. I took the amount of three
hundred as the minimum requirement for myself. However, when I first started, I
had the attachment of fear. So it took me a while to finish my first three
hundred. Later, as I continuously improved my xinxing level, the speed of my
truth-clarification material production became faster and faster. As of now, I
have finished about two thousand pieces of truth-clarification material,
including CDs, diskettes, and laminated fliers. I have come to realize that I
should not just focus on how many materials I make, I should also pay more
attention to the content and quality of the truth-clarification materials.
Regarding the security issue, I think that the most important thing is that
we should improve our xinxing. Our thoughts should be righteous. During the past
two years, I've encountered various kinds of tribulations because of the
attachment of fear. I passed them all as soon as I could rectify my heart. For
example, sometimes I got lost when I was distributing the truth-clarification
materials, so I would ask the police for directions. The critical thing is that
we need to get rid of the unrighteous thoughts.
Besides that, since we cultivate in ordinary society, we should maximally
accord with the principles of everyday people's society regarding the issue of
security. I followed all the security instructions that I know and those that I
got from Clearwisdom. I was very careful when using my telephone and cell phone,
and when contacting fellow practitioners. In addition, I was very careful with
things written by hand. I set up passwords wherever needed. We should not
overlook these issues just because we think it inconvenient to do so, because
the evil might take advantage of these omissions. I think that if there were
still some security loopholes because of my lack of knowledge, as a Falun Dafa
practitioner, my guardian gods in other dimensions would help me to do Fa-rectification.
What I need to do is to try my best to keep a calm mind and focus my thoughts on
saving sentient beings. Of course, when sending forth righteous thoughts to
eliminate evil elements, I also ask Teacher to strengthen my righteous thoughts.
I obtained Teacher's new articles and other information from Clearwisdom. The
website is also a place to share experiences with fellow practitioners and
improve ourselves together. When the human rights scoundrel went to America this
past October, and when Hong Kong was discussing Article 23, I received the
necessary information and fellow practitioners' understandings I needed. As a
result, I started to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil
elements in other dimensions one or two months in advance. During a special
period, I prepared food and water ahead of time and continuously sent forth
righteous thoughts on the hour for fifteen or twenty minutes, for sixty-three
consecutive hours. During those sixty-three hours, I also read through Zhuan
Falun once, all the articles by Teacher, and Teacher's Fa-lectures published
after July 20, 1999.
When sharing understandings with my fellow practitioners, we mainly use email
or public phones, and we tried to speak in code. However, we didn't set up all
the code words in advance. But since we are all Dafa practitioners and our
hearts are on the Fa, although we appeared to be talking about some everyday
people's things, we were actually communicating with each other our
understandings of the Fa at high levels. Sometimes, I was even amazed at our
ability to decipher each other's code words.
I used almost all my spare time on Fa-study, clarifying the truth, and
sending forth righteous thoughts. I tried to save every extra minute possible
out of my personal life to use on those three things. Our company closes at 5
P.M. In order to get home by 6 P.M to send forth righteous thoughts together
with practitioners around the world, I would sometimes call a taxi so that I
could get back home in time to sit with my legs crossed and my palm held erect.
I lived away from my family, by myself, and sometimes I did feel lonely. I spent
five or six hours every night, and the whole day Saturdays and Sundays on those
three things. Day after day, it seemed that I repeated the same things over and
over again. Because of my limited xinxing level, sometimes I really wished that
I could do Dafa work together with my fellow practitioners.
As I didn't get to see other dimensions, I had to enlighten to higher
principles or things on my own. During the Fa-rectification work, I couldn't
always uncover my attachments. My level was limited and I couldn't understand
all the things from the Fa. Sometimes, I felt that even when Teacher would give
me hints, I simply couldn't enlighten to them. But eventually, I would gradually
enlighten to them with the help of the articles published on Clearwisdom, even
though sometimes it was half a year or one year later.
Along my Fa-rectification path, sometimes I would enlighten to what I had to
do, but would encounter some troubles when carrying them out. Of course, I took
it as opportunities to improve my xinxing. Later on, I came to realize that what
Teacher had arranged was much better than what I had decided by myself. Teacher
has actually arranged a great cultivation path for me, especially after I got
rid of the related attachments. The problem was that sometimes I didn't even
notice them. For example, after I got rid of the attachment to material
interest, my salary was increased several times. Thus, I had much more money to
use on Dafa work. And after I got rid of the attachment of sentimentality and
replaced it with benevolence, everything went very well with everyone in my
family. Teacher has made such a wonderful arrangement that I didn't need to
worry about my family at all. During my Fa-study and my Dafa work, it occurred
to me that a laptop computer would be very helpful. My company immediately gave
me a laptop to work with, which I could take home. I was on a business trip
once, which was to last about a month, and in that city I couldn't get access to
Clearwisdom, so I was hoping that I could return early. As a result, my company
called me back twice to deal with some urgent matters that came up. The second
time I went back happened to be when Teacher published Teaching the Fa at the
2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.
The majority of my colleagues in the company know that I am a Falun Dafa
practitioner, and I set requirements for myself based on the Fa principles. I
tried my best to get rid of my attachments to fame, material interests, and
sentimentality. I got along very well with my colleagues, without any personal
relationship conflicts. Because my wisdom was broadened through the Fa, I did my
job very well. In the complicated work environment of everyday people, I
required myself to follow Truth, Compassion, Tolerance. I required myself to be
selfless and not to tell lies, which is very difficult to do nowadays. My bosses
and colleagues admired my dignified ethics. My boss often asked me to deal with
some very important business, my colleagues liked to talk to me about their
personal lives. This is all because they trust me. I think that it is a
manifestation of Falun Dafa practitioners' mighty virtue in human society.
Teacher said, "As I've said, everything that happens today in the ordinary
society is the result of Dafa disciples' thoughts." (From Teaching the Fa at
the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.) I came to realize that
during the current final stage of the Fa-rectification, Falun Dafa disciples are
no longer everyday people, but gods. We have great mighty virtue and great power
in both the human world and in other dimensions. We need to gradually get rid of
the ordinary logical mentalities that prevent us from using our mighty powers.
We need to learn how to use gods' righteous thoughts and means to assist Teacher
in doing Fa-rectification. "How would someone who's cultivated well, or a God, a
Bodhisattva handle it? Think of it this way, and as soon as the righteous
thoughts emerge you'll know." (From Falun Buddha Fa - Lectures in the United
States, Teaching the Fa at a New York Meeting) Let's break through the
everyday people's principles that restrict us from using our mighty powers.
Let's come and show our mighty virtue. Let's welcome the day when the Fa will
rectify the human world.
