Sending the Compassion of Dafa To China Through the Internet By overseas Dafa practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Studying Fa, clarifying the truth, and sending forth righteous thoughts are
the three tasks of Dafa practitioners during the Fa rectification period. We are no longer at a time
of personal cultivation; we are carrying out the divine task of rectifying the cosmos. Through the Internet, the compassion of Dafa is being transmitted into China. When I start my
computer, my righteous thoughts are boundless. I tranquilly send forth righteous thoughts to clear
the bad elements in my thoughts, to eliminate all the evils behind all evil people, hoping they will
awaken as soon as possible. I cherish every life that may have a predestined relationship with me. I
entered a chat room in Teacher's hometown, Changchun. Pretty soon, many came to talk with me and we
became friends. Here, Dafa practitioners are cultivating in the battle between positive and negative factors.
Sometimes, ten people may come to chat with me at the same time. During this time, my righteous
thoughts would become strong. With great speed, I pasted my prepared experience articles and the
overseas news about Dafa. After three rounds of discussion, they would begin positioning themselves:
some say that they are not interested, some ask me to continue, some might curse, some say they
share the same feelings with me, some want to learn [Falun Gong], some still have doubts, etc. I
then systematically reply to each one of them with a pure mind. Sometimes, my ordinary person's
mindset may appear, but through Fa study and the exercises, my thoughts would be cleared again. My computer knowledge is quite limited, but by overcoming my attachment of fear, exchanging
experiences with fellow practitioners, and using my righteous thoughts, I could face the machine
with a god's mindset. Teacher said that all things were living beings that had eyes. They are
watching every tiny idea or thought of Dafa practitioners. "They know Dafa disciples' every
single action and every single thought. Everything that Dafa disciples do is clearly displayed
before the eyes of higher beings. So be sure to do well and win their admiration."
("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston") Teacher says in "Fa-Lecture
at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.", "Let me tell you, all those who remain and that can
persecute Dafa and Dafa disciples are due to our students themselves." When I come back from
work everyday and turn on my computer, I tell myself that I should put down the mindset of an
ordinary person, and to look at all lives unselfishly. My daily schedule is really busy, going to work, doing chores, delivering newspapers, studying Fa,
practicing the exercises, sending forth righteous thoughts, posting articles onto forums, etc. I get
up at 4:30 am to be prepared for the sending forth righteous thoughts at 6 am, yet I am full of
energy, and I know it is Teacher who renews me. 2. Put Down Fame, Benefit, Human Sentimentality and Eliminate the Last Attachment Once I met a person who had been hoping to learn Dafa but said that it was hard to find a Dafa
practitioner since the persecution started. He said: "I swear that I will do my best."
Some Dafa practitioners who had slacked off in their cultivation started to be diligent again. I
took the chat rooms as a window of the Minghui website and was happy to see their progress. When I
ran into Dafa practitioners who were forced to leave home to avoid being illegally arrested, my
sentiment would appear. However, I know that my meeting those practitioners is a part of Teacher's
arrangement. While reminding them to be diligent, I also let go of my attachment to human sentiment,
as anything that is not pure should be eliminated. 3. "Validate the Fa with Rationality, Clarify the Truth with Wisdom, Spread the Fa and
Save People with Mercy" (Essentials for Further Advancement II "Rationality") How to prepare the content of chatting with greater compassion, how to get rid of the fear, how
to clarify the truth in greater depth and detail while reaching more people, how to choose articles
that represent the truth of Dafa to be posted to forums , how to make good use of the changing net
technology and resources, and how to better utilize limited time to do more work, etc., all require
us to validate Dafa with more rationality, wisdom, and compassion. With all this work, even harder
is that we should still be tranquil and free of thoughts when doing the meditation. These are all
tests to perfect Dafa practitioners for consummation. 4. Eliminating the Evils with Righteous Thoughts and Looking Within Ourselves "When a person himself doesn't have righteous thoughts, all the bad things in the cosmos, or
in the Three Realms, will flow around continually in the human body, even though the person doesn't
realize it. That's how people are manipulated; in other words, they manipulate people when these
particles are able to connect with each other." ("Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida,
U.S.A.") The evil old forces used the most vicious methods to persecute Dafa practitioners. On
the Internet, some people I faced were controlled by evil thoughts. "Since the old evil forces
insist on giving us a chance to eliminate them, make good use of it. History has never seen this
before; it's hard to come by." (Guiding the Voyage "Teaching
the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa Conference") In chat rooms, I have met the police, Internet police, "610" Office personnel, spies,
former practitioners who deviated from Dafa, and other people who are controlled by evil concepts.
In this messy environment, at the beginning, I might ignore those unreasonable people or even have
bitterness towards them. Then I remembered Teacher's guidance, which tells us not to be like them
and that we cannot take them as enemies. Gradually, I was able use my kindness to override my
negative feelings towards those with evil intentions. Looking back, I realize that none of these
were accidental. Teacher wants us to remove all the hidden attachments. 5. Enlarge Our Mind Capacity and Be Compassionate to All Sentient Beings For those who showed disrespect to Dafa, I would pick up my microphone to ask for a direct
dialogue. I would say: "If I was wrong, please tell me. But please be respectful to others as
well as to yourself. Nevertheless, you should respect Dafa with the principles of Truth, Compassion,
and Tolerance." At the same time, I would also look at my own behavior. I think that the power
of kindness alone can touch people's heart. Since many people only look at our behavior, poor
behavior on our part may hinder them from attaining Dafa. Doing things this way, I enlightened to an
even deeper understanding of "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance." 6. Assimilate to Dafa Dafa is omnipotent. "The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy
all evil, the Fa can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts." (Essentials
for Further Advancement II "Drive Out Interference")
"But sometimes, because we don't keep up our Fa-study, we handle like an ordinary person some
of the things we do to spread the Fa and save sentient beings. This makes a lot of the sacred things
we do not so sacred, it prevents us from doing them well, and it also causes people in society not
to understand us sometimes. So it not only prevents you from improving, but also causes Dafa some
losses." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston"), So in our Fa-rectification
cultivation, we should treat ourselves as Dafa practitioners at all times and radiate the purest
light in every environment. Only then can we qualify for the title of Fa-rectification Dafa
disciples. Posting date: 7/15/2002 |
