(Minghui.org) One's external reaction depends on the cultivator’s realm. I experienced the persecution of Falun Gong, and after my detention I became the focus of criticism by my family. My parents berated me and even slandered Dafa and Master. After I went abroad, I have been clarifying the truth about Falun Gong to them; however, they did not change. One time I was a little impatient in my email to my parents, causing them to have a negative attitude. As a result, they again said bad words about Dafa.

I have felt sad for what they have had to endure in the persecution. Also, I was worried that they could not be saved; so I felt a lot of pressure. Upon reading the reply letter from my parents, I almost lost all hope. I stayed abroad alone. In addition to the difficulty of my own survival, I am in the period of Fa-rectification cultivation and have been working on projects to clarifying the truth. I often go to bed late at night and get up at 5 a.m. to go to work, which put my mental and physical load at the limit. I collapsed at that time. I was crying while thinking: “I will not clarify the truth to them anymore.” At this time, I turned around and saw Master’s picture staring at me.

I recalled that in the period of cultivation and opposing the persecution, Master has helped me every step of the way. I could feel Master’s boundless compassion; however, I still felt extremely painful, just like being cut by a knife. I calmed down for a while and began to write a letter to apologize to my parents, but I also asked them not to say bad words about Master and Dafa, which would endanger them. While I wrote down each word, my heart was painful like being cut by a knife. Since reading that letter, my parents have not been disrespectful to Dafa and do not try to persuade me to give up practicing Dafa. There were no special words in this letter, just an apology. Their change made me elevate to a different realm through enduring bitterness. Everything is what Master has done for me. This is my first experience of seeing an obvious change in sentient beings after elevating my realm.

Later, I had a similar experience. After my parents immigrated to Canada, my mother started practicing Falun Gong with me. My father did not believe in the existence of God. Seeing his stubborn attitude, I almost gave up encouraging him to obtain the Fa.

Once while walking, I suddenly understood the selfless realm: the universe is composed of energy, and the Fa turns the energy into everything, forming the universe. Energy is constantly circulating. A being who assimilates to the Fa has his own energy cycle system; at the same time, his energy system echoes with the energy system of the universe, circulating back and forth. However, if a being creates selfish thoughts and wants to retain their own things, the part retained will break away from the cycle of the universe. Therefore, selfishness is leading to corruption and extinguishment. The more selfless a being is, the more he will possess, and the greater is the channel of the energy cycle. The more the beings in the universe harmonize with each other, the more beautiful the universe is. This is only my current understanding in my own realm.

I did not realize this selfless realm in one step. In a period before I had this understanding, a thought constantly emerged in my mind: life does not make any sense if one is selfish. I do not pursue fame and profit, and I have almost no attachment to lust. I do not have the desire for leisure and luxury no matter how much money I have, because I clearly feel the dirty erosion beings corresponding to the desire. Indulging the desire will lead to hopelessness and crime. However, beings are lost and do not know the truth.

I'm not saying that I've reached the realm of selflessness. I just realized what it is. Before I realized it, I could only hover below this realm, and often I was unaware of my own selfishness. Once I realized it, that realm opened the door for me. Through the door, I embarked on the road to reach that realm. In this process, I still continue to suffer and enlighten, until all my life from the micro to the macro has completely assimilated to the realm of selflessness.

I suddenly felt full of strength, feeling a huge surge of energy in other dimensions straight from far away, and the evil factors were immediately eradicated. I felt my mind was full of wisdom. I wrote an email to my parents according to their ability to accept it. I talked about God, Fa-rectification, astronomical phenomena, and Dafa disciples' efforts.

After writing this email, I began to persuade my father to practice Falun Gong and often sent them some experience-sharing articles published on the Minghui website. My mother has become diligent, and my father does not refute me anymore. He does not let me know definitely whether he has started practicing Falun Gong or not, and I do not ask him about it either. However, I am sure that these two beings have their futures in the Fa.

The attitude of the surrounding beings is a manifestation of our own cultivation realm. The good part will assimilate to the Fa, and the corrupt part will break away from us. However, if a practitioner cultivates well, he will have more parts assimilated and less parts eliminated. Everything that happens in this world is closely related to our cultivation, righteous thoughts, and our own status.
