 Group Fa-study and sharing |
 Sending forth righteous thoughts |
The classrooms were full of practitioners. Some practitioners took their whole families to the Fa-study. Group Fa-study and sharing is the form of cultivation that Master has given to us. Practitioners hoped that this group Fa-study and sharing would help them to solidly cultivate and improve as a whole body.
In the sharing, practitioner Mr. Cai said that we should not have the heart of differentiation when saving sentient beings. We usually encounter three kinds of people when clarifying the truth: the ones who are supportive, the ones who don’t express their opinions and the ones who are against us. Everybody in our daily life is a sentient being that we are trying to save. If practitioners only want to clarify the truth to those who support us, and don’t want to handle those who are against us, then it is the heart of differentiation. It is also a human notion that blocks us in saving people. It is interference arranged by the evil factors in the old universe. So we must be clear about it.
Practitioner Mr. Guan said that we should put down the human notions and do the three things well so that we can be worthy of Master’s benevolent salvation. In daily life, we need to make a lot of decisions, whether we like them or not, and we encounter a lot of people from different walks of life; therefore we cannot avoid seeing the conflicts between political parties. Master has taught us:
"In my lectures I have repeatedly stressed that the form of human society—no matter what type of social or political system—is predestined and determined by heaven. A cultivator does not need to mind the affairs of the human world, let alone get involved in political struggles. Isn’t how society treats us testing cultivator’s hearts?" ("Cultivation Practice is Not Politics", Essentials for Further Advancement)
So, how can we be so attached to the political parties? Can we say that we are still cultivators if we cannot put down this attachment?
Other practitioners shared their experience of clarifying the truth at tourist spots. Practitioners arranged different classes for the young practitioners according to their ages. Young practitioners studied the Fa and did the exercises seriously.
Time went very fast. The group Fa-study and sharing ended at 4:00 p.m. successfully. All the practitioners appreciated this opportunity to study the Fa and share experiences together.
