Be Tolerant of Fellow Practitioners

(Minghui.org) Why are there interpersonal problems between some fellow practitioners? In my opinion, the most important cause is intolerance.

A generous non-practitioner can treat people nicely, have good relationships, and make many friends. Generosity includes being tolerant of others, which prevents a lot of interpersonal problems. When a group of people work together toward one goal, they are bound to succeed.

As Master’s disciples, we are connected by Dafa. Our sacred relationship Master has arranged allows us to work together to help him save sentient beings in the Fa-rectification. We have to treasure Master’s well-planned arrangements!

Some of us have cultivated Falun Dafa for 10 to 30 years and have improved our realms well above the ordinary. However, we still have shortcomings based on Master’s teachings, such as bossiness, arrogance, and focusing on others’ problems.

Our divine side might not be evident in this dimension, because Master has separated the part of us that has cultivated well. What we see is our uncultivated side. That’s why we should be tolerant when it comes to our fellow practitioners and focus on their shining points.

For example, a coordinator may appear to be aloof, but he has been busy with all the details of coordination, day in and day out. A tech-support practitioner may sound bossy, but who would argue with him when it comes to his field of expertise? All Falun Dafa practitioners have great innate wisdom. When we treat other practitioners with compassion, they will certainly respond in kind. Practitioners who make truth clarification materials often have to contact coordinators and tech support practitioners for help. When things don’t work as well as desired, don’t criticize them. Treat them with profound tolerance. They are the backbone of our projects when it comes to saving sentient beings.

All of us need to realize our mission. We are in our positions because we agreed to help Master with the Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings, as well as to attain consummation ourselves. Being tolerant of each other is a manifestation of compassion. This is also what we strive to cultivate.

It has been hard for practitioners in our area to form one body over the few past years because of interpersonal problems. It’s critical for us to cultivate beyond this realm.
