1. Studying the Fa Well Ensures Validating the Fa Well
I obtained the Fa ten years ago, and I have been reading one lecture of Zhuan Falun every day. When I have spare time, I read Master's other teachings. I have consistently studied the Fa to guide my cultivation, which ensures that I will do all work that validates Falun Dafa well. I firmly believe in Master and Dafa, continue to get rid of my bad thoughts and attachments, and gradually upgrade myself without pursuit.
I often have to face all kinds of complicated situations such as the evil scoundrels' attacks using viruses the CCP spies send with modern technology, pornographic images, and various of shameless attacks on our Master. I can very well understand what Master described,
"Of course, going back in history, Jesus and Sakyamuni also ran into enormous tribulations. The tribulations aimed at them back then were also quite evil, historically speaking. But never before has anyone utilized this kind of modern mass media that we have today to breed this kind of evilness in such an overwhelming manner, on a scope as large as the entire world. The extent of the evil has been so enormous that when it started on July 20, 1999, it was as if even the heavens were collapsing." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa Conference," Guiding the Voyage)
"In what has transpired, we've also seen the following. During the period of time after July 20, 1999, probably every student felt that the evil seemed to penetrate everything, being everywhere." (Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A.)
I often recall Master's words from Zhuan Falun,
"There have also been some bad ones that we have had to deal with. For instance, when I gave a class in Guizhou7 for the first time, someone came to find me during the class and said that his grand master wanted to see me. He described his grand master and how he had practiced cultivation for many years. I found that this person carried negative qi and looked very vicious with a yellowish face. I said that I did not have time to see him and turned him down. Consequently, his old master was upset and began to make trouble for me, persisting to make trouble for me everyday. I am a person who dislikes fighting with others, and neither was it worth a fight with him. Whenever he brought some bad things upon me, I would just clear them up. Afterwards, I would resume my lecturing." (Consecration, Lecture Five, Zhuan Falun)
Facing such vile things, I should not use malice to fight malice. Instead, I should use a cultivator's righteous thoughts and compassion to dissolve them.
Master taught us in Los Angeles in February 1999 ("Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference") when answering a fellow practitioner's question,
"His mind, so steadfast in Dafa, solid as rock, would strike fear in demons at the mere sight of it, much less could they interfere with him. (Applause) Trying to touch him would be like throwing eggs at a rock, and they wouldn't dare touch him in the least."
I follow Master's teachings, look at the big picture, seek inwards when I make mistakes, do not get attached to my personal notions, and form one body with fellow practitioners working on Clearwisdom to do our job of validating the Fa well.
2. Putting Fa-Rectification First, Yet Taking Care of Other Validation Work
I participate in other clarifying the truth activities while completing the Clearwisdom website work. On one occasion, I did not get much sleep because I was doing Clearwisdom work. The next day, I participated in an activity that required me to stand under the sizzling sun. I fell asleep while standing and started to fall forward, but I quickly woke up. I twisted my back. However, through studying the Fa and doing the exercises, I quickly recovered. I often encourage myself with Master's words,
"Rest momentarily for self-reflection, add righteous thoughts
Analyze shortcomings explicitly, advance again wholeheartedly" ("Be Rational, Awaken," Hongyin II)
During the weekends, after I finish my Clearwisdom work, I often make 100-200 phone calls to Mainland China to clarify the truth. Once I called a police officer who had just arrested some Falun Dafa practitioners. He cursed me with dirty language. I made at least fifty calls to him within 1 to 2 hours. I told him, "After you're done cursing me, I will tell you the truth." He would hang up the phone immediately after cursing me. I called back again and again because he was required to answer the police station's phone. Finally, he changed his attitude and treated me with respect. He finished listening to me and promised to release the practitioners he arrested.
My father was right beside me, and he laughed while he witnessed the whole process. I thanked the police officer for giving me virtue while cursing me. Although I did not want his pitiful virtue, the heavenly laws are just. A Falun Dafa disciple cultivates great benevolence and forbearance; we do not have hatred for anyone or anything but merely try to save them by clarifying the truth. Sometimes I would continually contact one evildoer for a couple of weeks. In the end, they all changed their minds and none of them want to cursed me any more.
The old forces watch each cultivator very closely. It will exploit our gaps when our righteous thoughts slack off even one bit and when we are the least prepared. Once, the old forces used my company to persecute me. I was requested to finish a huge project within ten days. I worked hard for 18 hours a day during those ten days. Later, I realized my righteous thoughts were not strong enough, and I followed the old forces' arrangements. Falun Dafa practitioners have supernormal energy and wisdom, but they should be used for saving sentient beings and helping Master with Fa-rectification. They are not for the old forces to take advantage of. To summarize, the lessons and experiences of my past ten years of cultivation are all very clearly shown. Being cared for directly by Master, I will continue to get rid of any part not conforming with Falun Dafa, assimilate with Dafa, and advance diligently!
