“Unexpected” Gains While Paying Attention to Righteous Thoughts

(Minghui.org) I unexpectedly overcame the obstacle of lust that I struggled with for 10 years after I attached great importance to sending forth righteous thoughts. In addition to sending righteous thoughts at the four global times, I sent them three extra times each day. Each of these times was for an hour. I have been doing this for a year.

During this one-year period, I felt that a layer of some evil mechanism had disintegrated ... then another, and another. Finally, after all this external interference had disintegrated, my main consciousness dominated, and I was able to control myself. Through continued Fa study, I completely eliminated my attachment to lust and overcame my tribulation. Throughout the whole process, I continued to do the three things that we need to do.

I worked from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. My typical schedule was I did my morning exercises, then sent forth righteous thoughts from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m., and went to work. We have an hour’s lunch break every day. While my colleagues rested, I sent righteous thoughts that whole time.

Under the strong field of righteous energy, the tribulations at home were dissolved. And the tribulations at work essentially did not exist. My boss gave me a private office and a relaxed job. I studied the Fa in my spare time and clarified the facts about Dafa to my coworkers.

I recently found I was unable to cleanse a corner of my own [dimensional] space no matter what I tried. Then one day, I had a thought after reading a news article about the persecution of practitioners on Minghui.org.

I felt I needed to send forth righteous thoughts for those practitioners. So I reread the article and sent forth righteous thoughts for each and for every practitioner mentioned. I then started doing this for 10 seconds on each persecution article, totaling about 10 minutes a day. What I did not expect was that the evil factors in my own space were dissolved on a large scale at the same time.

I sensed that my sending forth righteous thoughts for only myself in the past was a manifestation of “selfishness,” and it became a protective shield for the evil. When I sent forth righteous thoughts entirely for others, this part of the evil also began to disintegrate. In the meantime, I realized a deeper meaning of Master's quote, “Dafa disciples are one.” (Teachings at the Midwestern U.S. Conference.)

Aside from hoping that fellow practitioners can pay more attention to sending forth righteous thoughts, I also hope that they can focus on sending righteous thoughts for practitioners reported in the persecution news on Minghui.org. I think in this way, the evil can be eliminated on a larger scale.
