(Minghui.org) After I read an article on Minghui titled “Nosebleeds Stopped after I found My Attachment,” I would like to share my own experience to serve as a reminder to fellow practitioners who may have paid too much attention to ordinary people’s current affairs like me.
As Master’s Fa-rectification progresses toward the human dimension, I feel that the requirements for us are even higher. Since I cultivated alone, I felt that I would be completely isolated and cut off from the world if I didn’t watch TV at all. So I watched news on state-owned media channels at times when I had nothing to do. Even though I knew it was all propaganda, I could not help but watch it, only to feel more pessimistic, irritable, and depressed most of the time.
I thought maybe I should not follow the state-sanctioned news anymore. So I turned to dongtaiwang (a website that provides uncensored news in Chinese and was developed by practitioners). Before I downloaded Minghui Weekly, I would finish all the news on dongtaiwang first. Recently, I followed closely the development of the news about the woman who was raped and chained by her trafficker.
One day, while I was eating, I thought I would check out the dongtaiwang again later. But when I turned on the computer, it was a dark screen and I couldn’t make it work. I restarted the computer over ten times, but it was still the same.
One thought surfaced that maybe I should not check dongtaiwang anymore. For the next five days, I would try the computer daily and it was always a dark screen. I asked a tech-savvy relative, who is also a practitioner, to help, but he couldn’t make my computer work either. I wondered why Master did not help even though I asked repeatedly.
I had no choice but to ask for help from another fellow practitioner. She replied, “I do not know how to fix a computer, but let us ask Master for help.” I quietly replied, “But I did already.”
She was attentively checking out my computer. I showed her how I operated it. It was again a black screen. I suddenly said, “Maybe it's because I am too attached to dongtaiwang?” As soon as I said that, the computer worked! It functioned like it always did!
I was delighted to find my attachment and the computer worked again. The fellow practitioner said, “I was asking Master’s help all along as well. Thank you, Master!”
I felt it was incredible. I was deeply moved by my fellow practitioner’s firm righteous thoughts – she firmly believed that Master would help, and she did not have any doubt about it. Looking back, the gap between us was huge. I had doubts and did not have a firm belief in Dafa. I felt so sorry that my enlightenment quality was so poor. I am sorry that I let Master down.
I also had an attachment of curiosity and resented the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). When I read the news, I was expecting to see the demise of the CCP. I completely put my hopes on ordinary people. The pandemic was very bad. I even thought that those who refused the truth would regret that they didn’t listen to us before. Where was my compassion?
I felt scared just reading the article Nosebleeds Stopped after I Found My Attachment. The author must have had very strong righteous thoughts to overcome the interference and persecution. If one is not solid in one’s cultivation and doesn’t have firm faith, how could one overcome the test of life and death?
I wrote this article to remind myself and fellow practitioners who pay too much attention to ordinary people’s current affairs that we should focus on cultivating ourselves well, catch up with the Fa-rectification, and cherish our cultivation opportunities and the precious time Master has extended for us to save people.
