(Clearwisdom.net) In 1998, when I listened to Pudu for the first time, without thinking I started meditating. My mind was so peaceful that it felt supernatural. In fact at the time, it seemed that I was not in the human world. Later, I became familiar with the connotations of this musical piece after reading Teacher's words,
"In it is the entire process Master went through from prehistory up through the Fa-rectification." ("Teaching the Fa at the Meeting on Writing Music")
Due to my long commute to work, I often listen to Dafa music, including Pudu, Jishi, and other musical pieces that were created by Dafa practitioners. Whenever a new piece written by a Dafa practitioner is published on the Internet, I always download it and listen. As I make progress in my cultivation, my understanding of the music changes. I enlightened that the Buddha Fa "encompasses everything and leaves out nothing." From human music, art, culture, to individual behavior, and problem handling, all should be peaceful and beautiful. The behavior of Dafa practitioners should follow the requirement of the Fa because we are establishing and creating the future for the human society. As long as one peacefully listens to the music created by Dafa practitioners, one's mind or mood will become good and pure. As a result, when interacting with other people, one will naturally behave properly.
The first time I listened to "Journey with My Teacher" was during a trip. At the beginning, I thought the music sounded monotonous, and I did not have any deep feelings about it. Shortly after, I played this piece again at home with my family, who listened intently. This time, I felt solemn and magnificent. When the piece was finished, my family told me that they saw Teacher while listening to the music. It made me realize that my heart was not pure enough even though I have cultivated for many years, even though I call myself a Dafa practitioner. The minds of my family were shocked by this musical piece. It shows that you can understand the musical connotation when you don't have obstacles of human thinking and concepts. So, you will naturally become good and feel quite at ease. When I later listened to this music again, I felt I was on a journey with my Teacher. How fortunate it felt to assist Teacher in rectifying the Fa!
The first time I listened to "Clear out Confusion Fog," my mind became clear immediately. When I listened to the music again later, I felt there was Dafa practitioner's wisdom in the music. It was like sitting in a Fa boat and sailing along. The foggy and confused feeling went away, layer by layer. My mind became clearer and clearer and my heart, more and more pure. When I listened to "My Original Home," I felt peace everywhere and then I heard the magnificence and beauty in the Buddha world. There are also other good musical pieces, including "Planting Lotus Flower," "Treasure Fa Opportunity," "Come Back, Child," "Please Sit by My Side," "Thank the Teacher for Graciousness," "Lotus Praise," "Call for Conscience," etc. Listening to these musical pieces created by Dafa practitioners can purify one's heart, bring out righteous thoughts, and make one realize the purpose we came to this human world. I also enlightened that Teacher uses music to call upon practitioners to forge ahead in cultivation, and go back to our original homes with Teacher. I sincerely appreciate all the fellow practitioners who created those musical pieces.
