Living Righteously on Our Cultivation Path

November 13, 2012 |   By a practitioner in Shandong Province, China

 

(Minghui.org) In order to save sentient beings most effectively, it's important to stay righteous while traveling our path of cultivation. Studying the Fa and cultivating diligently ensures our ability to save sentient beings, and eliminating human concepts is also very important. When it's difficult to decide what to do in a situation, it is best if we look at the whole picture and consider it according to Master's Fa. We need to remain consistent once we do decide what to do. Take my experience as an example. I often thought that I didn't meet the expectations of others. This caused me to worry and have doubts about myself. I worried that other practitioners were referring to me in their articles, even though I knew that I shouldn't do that. I knew that was a human concept.

When I initially began editing persecution articles, I couldn't accept the police officer slandering a young and unmarried female practitioner. How could he speak out such dirty words and behave so badly, even if he was evil? I thus handled this by deleting all the inhumane words when I edited the article. When I saw the DVD about the torture of Wang Xia, I was so depressed. I thought that people would have a negative response to Falun Dafa when they watched this DVD. They would see how inhumanely Falun Dafa practitioners were being treated, and they wouldn't want to be involved with such a practice. Based on this notion, I suggested that other practitioners not distribute copies of this DVD.

When I reviewed the articles written by practitioners about exposing the persecution of female practitioners, it was totally beyond my comprehension. My heart sank and I couldn't believe that an evil persecutor could actually behave that way. I also couldn't accept the Manhattan practitioners' display about the persecution shown to everyday people. I considered it a waste of their time to show such brutal persecution methods to people on a public street, as people might misunderstand. I felt that practitioners should use the time to clarify the truth to save people.

Upon looking back, I see that my ability for saving sentient being was poor, because I was being led by human concepts. I had not sufficiently eliminated the evil factors around me, and this was actually limiting my effectiveness in eliminating the persecution. This was a big lesson for me! Since I could browse the Internet, I read many articles and my mind became open. I also learned how to expose the evil in a more efficient manner. My time was limited to browse the Internet, so I read very fast and downloaded articles from the Minghui website for reading later.

As the number of truth clarifying material production sites increased, I took responsibility for editing the local articles. I thus needed to research some of the content in the practitioners' reports, find the right articles, and edit them into reports. I sent them to the Minghui website and printed them after publication. I also reviewed articles for other websites. I became clearer on the process of Fa rectification through reading these reports. I was excited when reading the articles, but I tried to only measured things according to the Fa. This helped me to eliminate my attachments.

I browsed the Internet every day without the interference of any human concepts. I just thought that I should read articles. On Friday afternoons, I downloaded the “Minghui Weekly Journal.” Everything went well in those years, even during the very tough times when the Minghui website was blocked. I used righteous thought to successfully search the Internet. It's like Master said in, “Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference,” “They've never been able to block the Minghui Website!”

Additionally, I told people around me the truth about Falun Dafa. They were encouraged and commented positively about Falun Dafa. Lots of people expressed disdain for the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP), but they were scared. However, they gradually became braver after I told them the truth and the latest news. I knew the CCP would soon crash. I also downloaded articles for people to read, and they became clear about the evilness of the CCP and spread the news. Obviously, when righteous power is strong, the evil is quickly eliminated.

The CCP's brainwashing of most Chinese people led them to be afraid. This sometimes includes Dafa practitioners. Now, in the presence of such a righteous environment, the evil should be afraid. We should continue to expose the CCP's nature and eliminate the evil factors. We can save others by helping them become aware of the CCP's intentions. We must help people develop a good understanding of the truth of Falun Dafa.
