The Printer Worked After I Found My Attachment

(Minghui.org) I began practicing Falun Dafa before April 1999. Although I stumbled a lot, Master Li has protected and helped me during the past 20-odd years. I have the honor of being a Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple.

I established a materials production site in my home after receiving a hint from Master. Fellow practitioners helped me make truth-clarification pamphlets and DVDs, as well as books like the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. I also printed Dafa books, Master's lectures, truth-clarification calendars, and QR-code cards to circumvent the firewall.

The Telecom Symbol Became a Lotus Flower

I usually use a SIM card to download the information. A logo appeared when I first inserted the card. But one day, instead of a logo, a very beautiful lotus flower appeared. I could not believe my eyes. I looked closer, and saw it indeed was a lotus flower. I was amazed!

When I clicked on it, I was able to visit Minghui.org. From then on, all I needed to do was to click on the lotus flower to get to Minghui. I enlightened that this was Master encouraging me, so that my faith would be strengthened.

Many people decided to begin practicing Falun Dafa after Master published his new article Wake Up in November 2021. So the local coordinator wanted me to print more Dafa books. I was busy helping arrange my daughter's wedding, and as a result, I was often bothered by ordinary people’s matters and thoughts from time to time.

I was unable to calm down when I read the Fa, and I felt sleepy when I sent forth righteous thoughts. I knew I needed to study the Fa more to correct myself. But I also realized that many new practitioners didn’t have books. I was worried. After some deliberation, I decided to make Dafa books during the day and read the Fa at night.

The Problem is Me, not the Machine

I always made a few test runs of prints before I printed Master’s photo and the Falun emblem in the past. But this time, I found a wide swath of blue coloring on the test prints. I cleaned the printer-head twice but the problem persisted. I then opened the cover of the printer and found that the ribbon was tangled up inside. I cleaned it twice, but the problem persisted. Seeing I did not get the hint, Master used my husband’s mouth to tell me, “Let’s send forth righteous thoughts to clear up things.”

We sent forth righteous thoughts for a while. My husband said, “It should work now.” I was not convinced but did not say anything. When we checked, it was the same. I thought my husband was wrong, and I felt validated.

I thought of the fellow practitioner who worked on technical issues, so I decided to send him an email. But I regretted it afterward. I thought I should not bother him since his time was so valuable, so I canceled the email.

I began to calm down and read the Fa. I suddenly realized that it was my attachment that caused the printer’s problem. I thought the issue could only be solved by cleaning the ribbon. I did not treat myself as a practitioner and believed the problem should be dealt with by using an ordinary person’s means. The old forces used this loophole to interfere with me and make the problem worse.

My husband and I then sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate my attachments after I found the problem. I identified my attachments to jealousy, saving face, validating myself, combativeness, reputation, and self-interest. I no longer recognized them and completely denied the old forces’ interference.

After sending forth righteous thoughts for half an hour, my compassion emerged. I walked over to the printer, held it, and said, “Sorry, it was my wrong notion that caused this problem. Thank you for providing me with a good opportunity to look inward. You are a remarkable life that does sacred things at the time of Fa-rectification.”

I felt that it seemed to understand what I said and I was a bit choked. I turned on the printer and made a few test runs. A miracle happened. The blue swath disappeared, but the print still appeared a bit dark. After I tried a few more prints, the images became better and better, even better than before.

I successfully printed Master’s picture and the Falun emblem. The color was bright and the image was vivid. I held Master’s picture in my hands and said, “Thank you Master, for helping a disciple like me who has poor enlightenment quality.”
