(Clearwisdom.net) In this special environment and time, with
the coordinated efforts of my fellow practitioners, I have produced
500 copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. In retrospect, the whole process was filled with all
kinds of interference and tests, and, more importantly, powerful
righteous thoughts from the whole body of our fellow
practitioners.
Two other practitioners and I began to plan to produce the 500
copies of the Nine Commentaries. Then, we faced a lot of
interference and tests: one practitioner suddenly was assigned too
much work, the other was troubled by her relationship with her
husband that almost reached the boiling point right before the
production of the book, and, for myself, there were other types of
interference.
I realized that our personal cultivation states were improper
and our many strong attachments affected our project of assisting
Teacher to validate the Fa. The 500 copies of the Nine
Commentaries were needed for saving sentient beings and
validating the Fa. I made up my mind that regardless of any
interference, the project must be completed. I sent strong
righteous thoughts to eliminate the interfering factors behind
myself and other fellow practitioners. Then I called the other two
practitioners. The first told me that she had almost finished her
task, and the other said she should be stronger to do whatever was
necessary for validating the Fa.
We decided on a location and time, and then we all got together. I
asked that we all send righteous thoughts together and cooperate
well. Then we tried to assemble the equipment that we needed. For
some reason, there were several machines that we could not set up
correctly, so we had to ask another practitioner from another town
that was quite a distance away. He raced over as soon as he
received the call. I watched him work and I was moved by his
attitude and the attention he gave the machines. He treated them
respectfully and cleaned them.
After the installation was tested and complete, the other
practitioners left and I continued the printing work. The machines,
especially the printer, had been used many times before, and I
worried that its paper feeding wheel was worn out and would not
work well this time. This thought was not right, and sure enough,
it did not work well. The paper frequently was not fed in
correctly.
I had to stop printing and calm down to look within myself. The aim
of Fa-rectification will definitely succeed (as Teacher said), and
any work for it should be smoothly done. My anxiousness was
certainly out of place, so I said to the printer, "We both are for
the Fa and should do our best. Now the role you are playing is much
more important than mine." Then, as I expected, it worked quite
well and did not mess up again. All I had to do was press the
button and feed in the paper. We finished the printing peacefully.
Of course, I also understand that, during the process, Teacher
certainly took care of much of it, and many fellow practitioners
certainly sent righteous thoughts to eliminate those bad
factors.
The next step was preparing the pages and binding. The other
practitioners and I got together and silently cooperated to do the
work. If someone made an error, we all sent righteous thoughts to
help each other, instead of blaming each other like before.
Everyone would look within and heed Teacher's words. Before we knew
it, we had finished everything, and 500 copies of the Nine
Commentaries on the Communist Party were in front of us!
Thinking of the books that would be spread among sentient beings
and that could save many people, we were very happy.
Hopefully, we will be able to continue to coordinate well like
this as a group. Each of us must let go of selfishness, do our
best, and melt into a whole powerful body to save more sentient
beings, in order to keep and complete our original vows.
