(Clearwisdom.net) A local fellow practitioner displayed illness symptoms and was consequently hospitalized. A physician suggested she have surgery. After a check-up, her blood pressure was found too high for surgery, so the physician proposed to observe her for a time. After fellow practitioners learned about this matter, they decided that they had to help her. Meanwhile, the practitioner who was hospitalized exchanged views with fellow practitioners, attended group Fa study, sent forth righteous thoughts, and looked inwards.
One month passed. The superficial effect was not obvious. Since practitioners were busy, they could not meet with her every day, so they simply took her along with them when they went to clarify the facts and to urge people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. In the beginning, she just stood aside and sent forth righteous thoughts. Later, she also actively clarified the truth. In the afternoon, they had group Fa study. Two weeks later, her illness had disappeared. She no longer breathed heavily, her heartbeat was normal, and her edema had disappeared. All abnormal states were gone. She regained her vigor. Now she can go outside to clarify the facts and urge people to quite the CCP by herself every day.
One day I met her on the street. She told me merrily, "I'm completely recovered. By clarifying the facts and urging people to quit the CCP recently, I found many of my attachments. Among them, the major one was fear. Looking inside deeply, that is a manifestation of selfishness. Also, I felt wronged by my family members, and acted rashly instead of improving my xinxing. That situation lasted for a long time and my tribulations accumulated. The evil factors took advantage of that loophole so that I displayed a morbid state and was hospitalized. Teacher is so merciful that He did not abandon me. Instead, Teacher gave me hints and protected me. My fellow practitioners supported me. Therefore, I was able to battle through the tribulation, let go of my attachments, and keep pace with the process of Fa rectification."
This matter inspired me greatly. In our area, a few practitioners displayed serious illness symptoms for a long time. Some even passed away. During the process, many practitioners spent much time and effort to help them.
In my opinion, fellow practitioners who are in such a state would do well to let go of attachments, go outside to clarify the facts, and urge people to quit the CCP to save sentient beings. The practitioners around them will help them. I do not know how to express the profound Fa principle, but I know exactly that we should honor our prehistoric vows. Holding onto attachments and not improving xinxing are not genuine cultivation.
I wrote about this in the hope of providing some hints to practitioners who are in tribulation.
I welcome fellow practitioners to point out any improper points.
