(Clearwisdom.net) I am a Falun Dafa practitioner who obtained the Fa in 1997. Recently, I have had a new understanding on eliminating lust.
In recent months, I have felt that my husband has had less and less desire for sex in our life together. He works out of town and comes home once a week. Previously, he always had a strong desire for sexual activity after he came home each weekend. Although I did not like it, I felt that it was not right if I just refused him and was afraid of being misunderstood by my husband, who is an ordinary person. So I had to follow the course of nature. Recently, however, every time my husband comes home, he is either burned out because of work or listless. Sometimes he does not mention it at all after he gets home and goes to sleep very early at night. At other times, he does not even return home because of work. As a result, our sex life has almost faded away, which now seems normal. However, this has not affected the harmony between my husband and me. I suddenly enlightened that as I constantly recite the Fa (up until now, I have recited Zhuan Falun over ten times), I increase my level. The attachments I had developed as an ordinary person have been eliminated more and more. Those bad things have gone farther away from me and become fewer. I feel that my body has become cleaner. Falun Dafa truly has boundless power. Eliminating attachments is a matter of whether one makes the effort.
Master says,
"Whenever there is interference of one kind or another in qigong practice, you should look for reasons within yourself and determine what you still have not let go." ("Demonic Interference in Cultivation," Zhuan Falun)
I realize now that my husband's previous strong desire for sex was a result of my mindset. It was because I had an attachment in this regard. Although I did not feel that I had lust, why would my face turn red and my heart jump whenever I heard anything about sex between a husband and a wife? Didnt I have an attachment if I could not remain unmoved? In fact, this mentality was deeply buried and I had difficulty recognizing it. When I recite the Fa and assimilate to the Fa, these attachments can be eliminated. Such interference can therefore become less and less. When we have completely eliminated these attachments, one's sex life will not exist. The environment around you is the reflection of your cultivation state.
I have deeply understood now that it is in fact Master who does everything for us in the process of our cultivation. As long as we study the Fa more, assimilate to the Fa more, and dissolve into the Fa, and as long as we treat ourselves as Falun Dafa practitioners whenever we come across things and are strict with ourselves, Master will arrange everything for us. Everything will change along with our xinxing improvement.
