Recently, fellow practitioners in some areas of the city of Chongqing have been interfered with by "illness karma" on a large scale. Some of these practitioners had physical problems for several years, and they suddenly intensified. Some who had been diligent in doing the three things, occasionally had physical interference, which they removed quickly with righteous thoughts, but this time it took comparatively longer. Some of these practitioners are coordinators, so it not only affected their individual efforts in doing the "three things", but also caused huge interference while validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. Many practitioners put down their work, went to those practitioners' home to send forth righteous thoughts, and often stayed there for half a day, a whole day or even several days, but no obvious changes occurred.
Here I would like to share some thoughts.
1. All fellow practitioners should realize that there are evil lives in other dimensions that are interfering with Falun Dafa practitioners' efforts in saving people today, and we should firmly eradicate them with righteous thoughts. In this critical moment in which we need to tell people the facts and urgently save them, we can't afford to waste even a bit of time. If we delay one day or half a day in our dimension, several thousands of years may have already passed by in other dimensions and this could be a huge loss for sentient beings in this universe. Now, we are "snatching people" away from the old forces. We are really racing with time. Therefore, whether it is a practitioner in an ordeal or others who go and help, regardless of the result on the surface, we must steadfastly send forth righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil, eliminate dark minions, and we cannot stop our righteous thoughts as long as the evil interference continues. Surely, do not be disheartened when you don't see the effects for a while, and definitely do not easily give up.
2. For practitioners encountering interference, I suggest that you look for any obvious human notions in your daily cultivation. If you can't find any on the surface, then you might calm down, and look for your fundamental attachments. We all know the Fa-rectification has come to the final stage, and that the universal law certainly has stricter and higher requirements to Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners who are destined to be the enlightened beings in the new cosmos. Veteran practitioners have passed through so many tribulations and hardships, and were able to enlighten to many things with the Fa; however, can we not enlighten more righteously, and look inwards a bit deeper?
Teacher said: "Your true improvement will always be first and foremost, and the consummation of your cultivation is always first and foremost." ("Teaching the Fa in Canada, 2006") Teacher mentioned "true improvement." Well, true improvement does not mean the average introspection or correcting some behavior on the surface. Practitioners in tribulations should not excessively rely on other practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts; they should calmly study the Fa and truly improve. Many practitioners experienced this during solid cultivation: when you truly improve from the Fa, at the moment of your enlightenment, the evil will immediately be disintegrated. You will neither stay in one state, nor waste precious time in your efforts to save people!
3. Fellow practitioners who go to help should exchange their views with other practitioners on the Fa, and not merely go there to send forth righteous thoughts. Often when everyone sends forth righteous thoughts together, he or she will become better. But when everyone leaves, he or she is will return to the original state. Teacher says in Zhuan Falun: "This is because in another dimension it will know whatever you want to do--as soon as you think about it. When you try to grab it, it will have already run away. Right when the patient goes out the door, it will go back there immediately and the illness will recur." Teacher told us that a permanent cure is to grab that other spirit. Of course practitioners who experience physical interference are different than ordinary people. When other practitioners extend help, they must help them fundamentally, and not just send forth righteous thoughts. That is not enough, they also need to patiently help practitioners to correct their misunderstandings on the Fa, find their fundamental attachments and get rid of them.
4. All practitioners in the area also need to look inward. We must realize that interference to any practitioner is to target our whole body. If our whole body has loopholes, the evil will have the opportunity to interfere, even though the "illness karma" only appeared on some practitioners. Actually, I already saw some bad phenomena in our local area, but did not point them out due to my laziness and being afraid to offend others. Today, I take this opportunity to talk about it, and hope it is not too late.
During the early stage of the persecution, practitioners in my area encountered large scale illegal arrests, and being sentenced to forced labor. However, practitioners were not scared during the most evil period of the persecution and covered the streets, lanes, residences with truth-clarification materials. In the face of another round of persecution in 2003, practitioners put truth-clarification materials on the desk of the section head of the legal department, thus powerfully suppressing the evil. However, in the recent one to two years, along with a more relaxed environment, practitioners' partial laziness also emerged, and they no longer saved people with all their strength like they did several years ago. Some practitioners are satisfied with handing out one or two flyers per week, and think they've done things to save people. Some do not pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts, can't ensure that they participate in the global sending forth righteous thoughts four times a day, not to mention doing the local ones at 8, 9 and 10 o'clock. Some coordinators clearly knew that in some Fa study group things occurred that did not comply with the Fa, but were preoccupied with doing housework, and thus neglected this serious matter. Some practitioners feared that family members (non-practitioners) would get angry, and did not dare to destroy books and materials containing communist content in their homes.
In our area, we hardly have any posters in public areas depicting the facts or telling people to quit the CCP. On the other hand, evil slogans in abundance are everywhere. Facing these evil banners, some practitioners became numb, did not immediately send forth righteous thoughts and thought as long as the banners did not mention Dafa directly, they did not target Dafa. However, many slogans have appeared again that were often used by the evil to slander Dafa and fabricate rumors in the earliest days of the persecution. Everyday people have been repeatedly brainwashed and persecuted by this evil propaganda. If we do not clear out these evil banners, they will continue to poison people. Although we made efforts to save people in these last few years, and lots of lives were able to understand the truth, quite a lot of people are still confused. Can we helplessly watch them being poisoned again?
As a matter of fact, everything was caused because we did not study the Fa well. Some practitioners only read Zhuan Falun, and only read recent lectures when they were first published, but do not frequently and repeatedly study them. Other practitioners have not read Minghui Weekly for quite some time, and think it does not have anything meaningful for them. Some practitioners pay more attention to everyday people's human rights matters, and are interested in Wang Zhaojun's open letter, the Tibet incident, whether the Olympics will be held and so on. They spend large amounts of time on these matters, instead of using their limited time on the most important matter of saving people. All of these things must be corrected at once.
Fellow practitioners, there is not much time left for Fa-rectification. We are not attached to time, but we must make the best use of our time, eliminate all interference with righteous thoughts and righteous actions, and try our best to save more people.
If there is anything inappropriate in the above, please kindly point it out.
