(Minghui.org) During the period of time when I was persecuted, two Dafa practitioners, A and B, stayed in my home because they were homeless due to persecution. Since my parents understood the truth about Falun Dafa, they were very kind to both practitioners. At that time, my daughter was in elementary school.
One day, after these practitioners had moved out, my daughter suddenly asked how practitioners A and B were doing. She said: “Uncle A conducted himself very well. One time, grandma delivered a plate of dumplings to uncle A. Uncle A stood up immediately and said: 'Even though I am younger and should be serving you, you brought me a meal. I feel so grateful.' He was a bit shy accepting the dumplings. Grandma placed the dumplings on his table and quickly left. The next day, uncle A bought a case of ramen noodles and brought it to our home."
She added: "Uncle B was quite the opposite. Grandma often brought meals to uncle B as well. After eating the meal, uncle B would leave the rice bowl on the table without even taking it back to the kitchen. I really miss uncle A.”
Hearing what my daughter said and looking at my daily life, in which I am not always very meticulous, I've realized that this could form a barrier, preventing us from saving sentient beings. Perhaps one careless word or action of ours can become a factor in being unable to save sentient beings. We cannot allow our words and actions to be indifferent. This is also a part of what we need to cultivate in ourselves.
Teacher clearly indicated to us:
“He is on a Providential mission in this world as well as in heaven above. He has bountiful virtue and also maintains a benevolent heart; he is full of great aspirations while minding minor details. With broad knowledge of the laws and principles, he is able to unravel uncertainties. Offering salvation to the world and its people, he builds up his merit naturally.” (“Sage,” Essentials for Further Advancement)
My understanding is that as a Dafa practitioner, one must be meticulous as one aspires to save sentient beings. Being meticulous embodies one's realm and caliber of cultivation. Minding details is also part of our cultivation and something we must achieve.
Disregarding trifles or not being meticulous is actually a part of the Communist Party culture, which is something the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) purposely instills in the people of China. It first hailed the proletariat as the most revolutionary, regarding the persons of casual dress and scruffiness as modest and amiable, and as having a beautiful mind that is not particular about what one eats or wears.
The purpose was to smear Chinese people with the behavior of gangsters and hooligans, and to let Chinese people completely break away from the traditional standards for mankind, including temperament, kindness, courteousness, and restraint. This way, it will be more convenient for the CCP to manipulate one group of people to struggle against another, to make waves, and to achieve its purpose of enslaving and victimizing the people.
So, the vile CCP is victimizing the people, while Falun Dafa practitioners are saving the people. When Dafa practitioners comply with what Teacher requires and pay attention to their words and actions, they are actually cleaning the poisoning of the Party culture and rectifying the human standards that have been compromised by the wicked CCP.
Pure and dignified behavior is the embodiment of kindness and compassion, which can touch people's hearts and truly save people.
Please do not hesitate to point out anything in my sharing that deviates from the Fa.
