(Clearwisdom.net) Overseas practitioners live in a peaceful environment. If we do not pay attention to Fa study and hold ourselves to high standards, it is easy to get complacent and slack off in cultivation. The comfortable environment will weaken our will for cultivation and our daily chores will fill up our time. Today's practitioners have a historic responsibility and mission. We need to realize the meaning of our existence.
Teacher said in the "Fa lecture in the Florida conference in the U.S.A,"
"Let me tell you, all those who remain and that can persecute Dafa and Dafa disciples are due to our students themselves. Students who haven't taken sending forth righteous thoughts seriously: the evil in the dimensions that you are supposed to shoulder and be responsible for has not been eliminated. That's the cause. So you must take sending forth righteous thoughts seriously. No matter whether you think you have the ability or not, you should do it. What you eliminate from your own mind are ones which have an effect within the expanse of your own body; at the same time, you need to eliminate the external ones, which are directly related to the dimensions you're in. If you don't eliminate them, then they not only persecute you and restrain you, but also persecute other students, other Dafa disciples".
For a long time, many practitioners, including myself, have not been able to continuously send forth righteous thoughts four times a day. Especially in the early morning, I usually could not get up to send forth righteous thoughts. Just because of our laziness, the dark minions and deteriorated beings have not been eliminated completely. It is our own problem.
Another issue is that whenever it is time for sending forth righteous thoughts, some practitioners need to use the toilet or get distracted by other things and therefore miss the opportunity. It is interference, and yet some practitioners do not pay attention to this issue. It is time to be alert. Sending forth righteous thoughts should be the priority and we should stop doing other things. We also need to keep a clear mind and actively eliminate any interference.
Practitioners in China and abroad are a whole body. Let us follow Teacher's words, pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts and do it well in order to fulfill our mission and responsibilities.
