Practitioners Must Cooperate Well with Each Other

(Minghui.org) A practitioner in my area was arrested for distributing and posting information about Falun Dafa during one evening in May 2014.

I was already in bed by 10 p.m. that day when I heard someone knocking on my door. I got dressed, opened the door, and saw the practitioner's husband standing there. He said that the police had called him and told him to go to the police station. I comforted him, and told him to stay calm and not cooperate with them. When I asked him about the Falun Dafa books, computers and printers, he said that he had already put them elsewhere. He then left my house very quickly.

I immediately went online and sent the incident to the Minghui website. I also sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master for help.

At around 11 p.m, I heard car noises. I opened the window and saw four policemen taking computers, printers, Dafa books and many copies of Minghui Weekly from the practitioner's house. The practitioner's husband had obviously left some Dafa materials at home.

Overcoming Fear With Righteous Thoughts

Although I was not afraid at the time, the next day I felt that the area was full of dark clouds and a sense of terror overcame me. I continued to send forth righteous thoughts and studied the Fa.

The practitioner's husband came to my house again and told me to be careful. He said that the police had obtained information about me from his wife's cell phone, including where I live. I told him that we are doing good deeds to save sentient beings, and that Master is the one who has the final say. I also reminded him to strengthen his righteous thoughts and not to cooperate with the police. I shared with him several cases of practitioners resisting the persecution.

My house is a material production site, so I store a lot of supplies to make truth clarification materials. Although I was afraid, I was reluctant to hide the supplies elsewhere. My thoughts went back and forth for a while. Finally, my righteous thoughts overcame the fear, and I decided to leave things in Master's hands.

That night I had a dream, where the old force elements in another dimension questioned the four of us. Voices said, “Which of you often accompanied the detained practitioner to distribute the materials?” None of us said anything. I sent forth righteous thoughts in my dream. The evil elements did not mention my name, but uttered a name that I didn't recognize. I woke up from the dream and realized Master was protecting me.

Looking Inward and Cultivating Myself

I was wondering why the practitioner had been arrested. I continued to study the Fa, and Master pointed things out to me when I read “Abiding in the Dao” in Hong Yin. I cried when I realized I had not been kind to her.

This person is a veteran practitioner, has more experience doing Dafa work, and is serious about it. I started to practice in 2004 and didn't know how to cooperate with practitioners. I did Dafa work with human notions, and thought that as long as I did a lot of work, I was cultivating well. Many practitioners, except for this practitioner, have praised me and said that I was very competent despite my late start in cultivation.

I got used to the compliments and liked hearing them. Whenever I made copies of Dafa books or truth clarification materials, this practitioner would criticize my work. I remained silent at first, but as time went by my patience wore off and I began to argue with her. I thought, “You are a veteran practitioner. So why don't you make the information materials yourself, instead of getting them from me?” I would show off my capabilities, and looked down on her and resented her. She didn't seem to mind my attitude, and was always nice to me.

The more I avoided her, the more she visited me, almost on a daily basis. Sometimes I just wanted to walk the other way when I saw her. I can't describe the feeling of resentment I had towards her. Now, I really regret the way I behaved.

Although I have learned to cultivate better after studying the Fa and reading Minghui articles, I still have not reached the standard required by Master.

I would like to kindly remind practitioners who have similar experiences, to follow Master's teachings and cooperate with practitioners. Do not create gaps between other practitioners, thus allowing the old forces to take advantage of our loopholes. Cherish fellow practitioners, and return to our origins with Master.

This is my current understanding, please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
