(Minghui.org)

The Minghui website sometimes publishes experience sharing articles on the topic of: “When we do not pay attention to cultivating speech, our words may add bad things to another practitioner's dimensions.” However, the articles did not cite which article or lecture of Master's the practitioner enlightened from.

This topic has been widely discussed among our local practitioners. Some even go to extremes. For example, one practitioner was so severely persecuted that he was in rather poor condition. He could not tell if he was hungry or full, couldn't walk for a long time, and was unable to study the Fa or practice the exercises. But we were not allowed to talk about it. As soon as the topic came up, some practitioners would immediately stop us, saying that it added bad things to the practitioner's dimensions. When some practitioners exposed their unrighteous human notions or made mistakes, some practitioners pointed it out with mercy. But in order to cover his attachment of not being able to accept criticism, the practitioner said this was adding bad things to his dimensions. So right now in my local area, no one dares to talk about others' problems.

After considering this at length, I have enlightened to a different understanding that I would like to share.

We all know each practitioner has his or her own energy. Some practitioners may say that, although practitioners all have energy, the strength of their energy depends on their level of enlightenment, so they may still interfere with each other. The practitioners' thoughts are not wrong, but they have overlooked the key fact--that Master oversees every Dafa practitioner.

Does this mean that bad things cannot enter our dimensions? No. One practitioner whose third eye is open saw bad things enter practitioners' dimensions or even his own dimensions. Some could feel the bad things enter their dimensions. I think we should consider the possibility that what the practitioner saw was just related to his own level and we cannot see the real display yet. On the other hand, during our cultivation we also need to repay karma.

In addition, if we do not have righteous thoughts or have the attachment of pursuit, it may bring bad things to our dimensions. For example, when someone complains about us behind our back, or we are angry or afraid, it can all bring bad things. Fear itself is a form of pursuit.

I am a local coordinator. When I did not cultivate myself well, I usually encountered all kinds of problems during a project. Some practitioners complained about me behind my back. Because of this, I also complained, had hatred or even fought back (which all generated karma). Gradually, with my better understanding of the Fa principles and the improvement of my xinxing, I became more stable.

Now when those complaints arise, I usually do the following: First, look inward. This is the best time to find my attachments and human notions, get rid of them, and improve myself. Second, ignore what they say and don't let those words affect my improvement during cultivation. I truly believe that, no matter what the practitioners' levels are, their words do not have any effect on me. Master oversees my cultivation.

Occasionally I was in a situation where, when I helped a practitioner whose state was not good to send forth righteous thoughts, sometimes I suddenly had a headache, or pain in some part of my body. When that happened, my first thought was not to bear the pain, but to repel and deny it. From Master's Fa, I understood that this was the old forces' interference and we definitely should not accept it. The old universe has the absolute principle of mutual-generation and mutual-inhibition, so that if you want others to get better, you must bear the pain. But nothing of the old universe is accepted and will soon be eliminated.

We follow Master's requirements and follow the standard of the new universe. So what we do is the most righteous and the best. For any being to interfere with us is a crime. If we have this kind of righteous thinking, Master, the righteous gods, and our guardian gods will help us.

I think the practitioners talked about “not adding bad things in other practitioners' dimensions” in the experience sharing articles mainly in order to remind the practitioners to cultivate speech. Although some things we say that do not conform to the Fa may not have any effect on the practitioners, we create karma for ourselves and increase further tribulations for our own cultivation. This is what every practitioner must pay attention to.

Once I talked about a practitioner while sharing an experience with another practitioner. Due to my attachments of jealousy, showing-off, and looking down on others, I only talked about the other practitioner's shortcomings without realizing I had just created karma for myself. As I was talking, a practitioner interrupted me kindly and said, “Let's not talk about this. Let's go on to another topic.” The practitioner's words woke me up. I immediately realized that I was wrong and apologized to Master in my heart. From this experience, I also realized my gap at cultivating speech.
