(Clearwisdom.net) After reading the notice for the “Minghui Eighth Cultivation Experience Sharing by Dafa Practitioners in China,” I started preparing to write a sharing article. As a Dafa disciple, I felt that I had to make full use of my own situation to cooperate with the activities of the Minghui website and walk well on my cultivation path. As I was writing, I eliminated bad thoughts, especially thoughts relating to attachments of fame, showing off, zealotry, and comparison. I refused to allow them to play any role in my writing. I realized that when my mind was on the Fa, my train of thought was clear and my wisdom greatly increased. I understood what kind of article validated the Fa.
In the past, my experience sharing articles emphasized what I had done, and I poured out all my feelings. The articles were wordy and without a theme, and from start to finish included things that validated myself, to the point that reader didn't know what I was trying to convey. I understood that everything I had was given by Teacher and Dafa and, without Teacher's blessing, I couldn't accomplish anything. Yet, when I started to write, those bad notions and attachments would get into my brain and unconsciously control me, and I unknowingly bragged about my deeds, as if I had to give a full account. Hidden between the lines, the articles were full of my showing off. How could these kinds of articles contain the power of the Fa? And they were unlikely to be published. When I read the articles later, I blushed with shame.
When I let go of my selfish ego, I understood the true meaning of writing an experience sharing article. It is to improve xinxing, not to express my ordinary people's mindset. Only by truly harmonizing with the Fa to purify my heart am I able to write a pure cultivation article. In fact, the same applies to validating the Fa. Only when we have Dafa in our minds and do things based on the Fa can we then walk well on our cultivation paths.
