(Clearwisdom.net) On my path of cultivation, Master has borne and given so much for me. Even though I cannot see it directly, I can feel and sense it. When I encounter tribulations, as long as my xinxing meets the requirements of the level of my realm, Master will protect and support me at all times.
One time, a fellow practitioner was arrested shortly after he left my workplace. As soon as I left, a police car blocked the entrance of my workplace. That was a very cold day, and I walked in the rain with only a thin layer of clothes and had no money in my pocket. I did not know where to go. I thought. "Master, no matter how difficult my cultivation is, no matter where I go, even if lose everything, I still want to go home with you."
My thought was so sincere that it moved heaven and earth. Master compassionately guided me to another practitioner. This practitioner used to have a strong attachment to fear but had firm righteous thoughts that day. We spent a long time sending forth righteous thoughts and eliminating all of the evil forces that persecuted our fellow practitioner. We suddenly felt that the evil forces were cleared away within our fields. Later, we learned that the other practitioner was released. Master helped us to dissolve a major tribulation.
From this event, I realized that no matter what kind of attachments we have during our cultivation, Master will take care of us and correct us in the Fa. The evil forces are not permitted to persecute us. Our firm belief in Master during the tribulation will help us eliminate the evil forces. Everything within the Three Realms is established for Dafa; only Master's words count.
This time, the practitioner's xinxing was also elevated. He gave up his selfish thoughts and attachments to fear. We cooperated well, did not complain, and only had righteous thoughts. In the past, whenever fellow practitioners were persecuted, instead of self-reflecting and cleansing ourselves of interferences, we spent a lot of time summarizing what kind of attachments that practitioner might have had and what he had said in the past. Normally if we see the attachments of another practitioner and point them out to him at the time, we will not create problems since we are all practitioners. But if the tribulation has already begun and we add substance to those negative thoughts in his field by acknowledging the existence of the practitioners' attachments, the evil forces will intensify the persecution. The evil forces might even claim that other practitioners viewed him this way.
After some practitioners were released from the labor camp, they did not want to contact other practitioners. This was a separation created by the old forces. After a while, the evil forces controlled them even more tightly. Practitioners were separated from the Fa and could not maintain firm righteous thoughts. They could not separate their own factors or thought-karma. The evil forces therefore intensified the persecution against them to the extent that those practitioners might not be able to return to Dafa ever again. Does this have something to do with our group's xinxing level? If we are strict with ourselves and cultivate according to the requirements of Dafa, then the evil forces cannot take advantage of us. Then we can all walk on the righteous path of cultivation.
Lessons we learn from our mistakes should make us more mature. What Master wishes is for us to improve and elevate as a whole.
