3. Eliminating the Attachment to Sentimentality

When I was in college, my paternal grandmother passed away. I often woke up and realized I was crying in my dreams. When I closed my eyes, all I saw was my grandmother. For several years, I could not eliminate my attachment to sentimentality, and I wasted so much time on it. It seemed as if the old forces found a huge loophole in me. My other attachments were uncovered as well, such as a competitive mentality, jealousy and resentment. In fact, the day my grandmother was cremated, Master let me see that Master had made the best arrangements for my grandmother, who had a great impression of Dafa. However, I still could not let go, which became a roadblock on my cultivation path. The evil often incarnated into my grandmother's image in my dreams. When I went over to her excitedly, the evil immediately changed back to its sinister shape. I often was so scared that I woke from my dreams. I could not get rid of the attachment for several years. Later, my grandmother on my mother's side passed away. I was also sad, but not as bad as before. The process of eliminating my attachment to sentimentality was very tough. However, Master never gave up on me and finally pulled me back.

I used to envy the disciples of Shakyamuni for their being able to listen to the Buddha’s lectures directly 2,500 years ago. A lay Buddhist told me to cultivate diligently and I could become a disciple of Maitreya Buddha in the future. Now my dream has come true.

Cultivate Diligently and Carry Out Our Prehistoric Vows

Greetings revered Master, greetings fellow practitioners.

Last year just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I set up a materials production site at my home. This year, again before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to report my progress to Teacher over the past six years thanks to his grace.
