(Clearwisdom.net) With the Fa-rectification pushing closer and closer to the surface level, saving sentient beings has become more and more urgent. In order to do the three things better, many practitioners are making the best use of their time according to their own situation and are saving sentient beings to the best of their abilities.
I usually would not miss sending righteous thoughts at the set global times, and I have rarely missed even the midnight time for the past several years. However, a few days ago, I felt tired after work, so I went to bed without doing the exercises. I couldn't believe that I slept through and missed the global time to send righteous thoughts. I regretted it terribly and immediately sat up to make it up.
I have a few thoughts to share with fellow practitioners.
We Should Truly Realize the Power of Our Collective Effort
Our simultaneously sending righteous thoughts at the four set times every day is a collective effort of practitioners around the world to eliminate the evil factors. There are divine meanings and powers of the Fa behind it. On the issue of sending righteous thoughts globally, we can either achieve the goal of strengthening the one body of practitioners, or we can hamper the progress of Fa-rectification. There is no in-between. Once we miss an opportunity to simultaneously send righteous thoughts with other practitioners, not only will we hamper the power of the one body, but the evil will also seize every opportunity to sneak into our dimensional field to avoid being eliminated, which amounts to us providing a hiding place for them. We are virtually indulging and protecting the evil, and we enable them to linger on, continue to harm sentient beings, and in the meantime fill our own dimensions with evil factors that hinder our validating the Fa.
Do Not Slack Off in Eliminating the Evil with Righteous Thoughts
Studying the Fa, sending righteous thoughts, and clarifying the facts are the three things Master asks us to do with concentrated attention while validating the Fa. They are harmonious and complement each other while we are saving sentient beings. Sending righteous thoughts is an indispensable part of what we should do. We all know that in other dimensions heavenly gods are watching our thoughts and everything we do; however, the evil old forces and factors in other dimensions are also watching us and looking for any loophole in our cultivation and any attachment we have not been able to get rid of. They will sabotage Dafa and persecute practitioners once they find an excuse. So we should pay great attention to sending righteous thoughts. We should persevere and never slack off. Only in this way can we continuously clean and purify our dimensions, eliminate the evil and their interfering factors, and make sure our path of validating the Fa is unfaltering and righteous.
Know Well the Essentials and Take Initiative to Send Righteous Thoughts
Practitioners from all over the world sending righteous thoughts collectively can generate enormous power, so we have to do well each time. Through experience sharing, I know it is inconvenient for some practitioners to do the gestures due to their work environment or things they work on at the set times. Actually, when running into those situations, "Whether walking, eating, working, it can be done in any environment. Concentrate your thoughts; it doesn't have to be in the sitting meditation." "Concentrate your efforts in your thinking, and send forth the purest, most steadfast righteous thoughts." ("Send Forth Righteous Thoughts" by Minghui Editors published on May 25, 2001) Sending righteous thoughts without doing the hand gestures is also effective in participating in the global effort of eliminating the evil.
During the special Fa-rectification period of today, Master has bestowed supernormal abilities on us to eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts. It is our utmost honor, and it is solemn and divine during the Fa-rectification period. Therefore, we should listen to Master and look at sending righteous thoughts from the Fa's perspective instead of treating it as a task. We should rationally and clearheadedly take sending righteous thoughts as part of fulfilling our mission in Fa-rectification. We should truly grasp the essentials of sending righteous thoughts, take initiative to harmonize with the one body, and be diligent together with fellow practitioners. Only in this way can our cultivation path become ever wider and brighter.
We Must Cherish Every Opportunity to Send Righteous Thoughts
I remember that Master told us:
"At one point I said that one day now passes in what used to be the passage of a second, and later I told you that one year now passes in what used to be the passage of a minute." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2005 Manhattan International Fa Conference")
At present, the Fa-rectification is moving forward rapidly. We shoulder the historic mission of safeguarding the cosmos and saving sentient beings while assisting Master to rectify the Fa. Everything we say or do and every single thought of ours will be recorded in the cosmos' history, and they will play out before us in the future. If we miss an opportunity to send righteous thoughts globally, we will forever lose that opportunity to eliminate evil and rectify the Fa. Once the chance is gone, it is gone forever. What we can do is to do well the next day. On the last leg of Fa-rectification, what excuse do we have to not do our best every day, every moment, and in every one of our thoughts?
The above is my personal understanding. Please point anything inappropriate.
