(Clearwisdom.net) Establishing a truth-clarification materials production site at home was a big leap on my cultivation path. In 2007, after reading articles daily from Clearwisdom.net and Pureinsight.org, I was so inspired that I began writing my own experience sharing articles for Dafa websites in 2008, which marked the beginning of harmonizing Dafa in my cultivation. Initially I spent a lot of time writing articles that weren't published. It did not affect me much, and my understanding was that I didn't care too much about the editors' recognition, but that I knew Teacher saw my willing heart. I didn't care about results. I just wanted to do my best for Dafa. I gradually improved. It was a change in my thinking from a selfish to a selfless point of view that made the difference.
Gradually, the results turned out to be good, and the websites published a few articles that I wrote. I was pleased that I did something to validate Dafa, and that I could do something for the benefit of fellow practitioners. I clearly understood that this experience was a little bump in the road for me to cultivate my xinxing. I have come to understand that what comes from Dafa should once again be harmonized with Dafa--this is the responsibility of each and every Dafa practitioner.
I now really feel that the road ahead of me is getting brighter and wider, and I sincerely hope that all fellow practitioners will consider others first in everything they do. If we do so, then what lies before us will be a great new world.
"In another dimension the formation of your thoughts is seen as an extremely slow process. It will know everything even before you think of it. Therefore, you should abandon all of your incorrect thoughts." (Zhuan Falun, Lecture Two, "The Issue of Pursuit")
I had read this paragraph almost a hundred times, and yet I didn't have a deep understanding of it. A few days ago, while I was again reading this part of Zhuan Falun with a quiet mind, I came to an understanding: Why did I sometimes not do well in passing tests related to interpersonal conflicts? It was because oftentimes I didn't base my thoughts using the principles of Dafa as guidance. Incorrect thoughts were therefore formed. When going through trials, I wasn't able to maintain my xinxing even though I knew what I was doing was wrong. At that time it was too late for correction, because I couldn't let go of my attachments.
In the process of writing this article I began digging deeper into my thoughts. If we not only don't give up our thoughts, but also strengthen our points of view, then those selfish thoughts really exist in other dimensions, so how could we then possibly proceed towards the new universe? As we all know, Teacher requires us to consider others first whenever we confront problems. Yet this is easier said than done! Why? My understanding is that the solution is to change the original composition of our thoughts by making sure they are born at a microscopic level of righteous thoughts. Then, this life must be a new one, a considerate life with altruistic thoughts--a new life formed by Dafa is hence born.
Please correct my limited comprehension of the Fa.
