Coordinating Well as a Body, Starting with Myself

December 20, 2009 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) In this special environment and time, with the coordinated efforts of my fellow practitioners, I have produced 500 copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. In retrospect, the whole process was filled with all kinds of interference and tests, and, more importantly, powerful righteous thoughts from the whole body of our fellow practitioners.

Two other practitioners and I began to plan to produce the 500 copies of the Nine Commentaries. Then, we faced a lot of interference and tests: one practitioner suddenly was assigned too much work, the other was troubled by her relationship with her husband that almost reached the boiling point right before the production of the book, and, for myself, there were other types of interference.

I realized that our personal cultivation states were improper and our many strong attachments affected our project of assisting Teacher to validate the Fa. The 500 copies of the Nine Commentaries were needed for saving sentient beings and validating the Fa. I made up my mind that regardless of any interference, the project must be completed. I sent strong righteous thoughts to eliminate the interfering factors behind myself and other fellow practitioners. Then I called the other two practitioners. The first told me that she had almost finished her task, and the other said she should be stronger to do whatever was necessary for validating the Fa.

We decided on a location and time, and then we all got together. I asked that we all send righteous thoughts together and cooperate well. Then we tried to assemble the equipment that we needed. For some reason, there were several machines that we could not set up correctly, so we had to ask another practitioner from another town that was quite a distance away. He raced over as soon as he received the call. I watched him work and I was moved by his attitude and the attention he gave the machines. He treated them respectfully and cleaned them.

After the installation was tested and complete, the other practitioners left and I continued the printing work. The machines, especially the printer, had been used many times before, and I worried that its paper feeding wheel was worn out and would not work well this time. This thought was not right, and sure enough, it did not work well. The paper frequently was not fed in correctly.

I had to stop printing and calm down to look within myself. The aim of Fa-rectification will definitely succeed (as Teacher said), and any work for it should be smoothly done. My anxiousness was certainly out of place, so I said to the printer, "We both are for the Fa and should do our best. Now the role you are playing is much more important than mine." Then, as I expected, it worked quite well and did not mess up again. All I had to do was press the button and feed in the paper. We finished the printing peacefully. Of course, I also understand that, during the process, Teacher certainly took care of much of it, and many fellow practitioners certainly sent righteous thoughts to eliminate those bad factors.

The next step was preparing the pages and binding. The other practitioners and I got together and silently cooperated to do the work. If someone made an error, we all sent righteous thoughts to help each other, instead of blaming each other like before. Everyone would look within and heed Teacher's words. Before we knew it, we had finished everything, and 500 copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party were in front of us! Thinking of the books that would be spread among sentient beings and that could save many people, we were very happy.

Hopefully, we will be able to continue to coordinate well like this as a group. Each of us must let go of selfishness, do our best, and melt into a whole powerful body to save more sentient beings, in order to keep and complete our original vows.
