(Minghui.org) Maintaining righteous thoughts and believing in Master can resolve any situation.
I have recently been staying at home a lot. I am usually busy at work, and have rarely had time to go out to talk to people about Falun Dafa. I therefore thought I should use the opportunity to go to nearby communities to distribute informational materials about Dafa.
Before the pandemic, I also went out to distribute materials during my spare time. But each time I went out, I brought only a limited number of materials with me, as I was concerned for my safety.
During the pandemic, saving lives became more urgent. Furthermore, the pandemic might get worse again and we may face another lockdown. I therefore thought I should distribute as many materials as possible when going out. With this thought, I felt pressure in my mind.
I felt as if I was going through a life-and-death test each time I went out. I worried I could be reported at any time, and might not be able to come back.
I tried to calm my mind and started reading the Fa. After reading, I reminded myself that I must believe in Master and the Fa, I must set high standards for myself in cultivation, and I must believe in the power of righteous thoughts.
I knew I should cultivate diligently every day, but for a long time I had been having difficulties being consistent.
In addition to studying the Fa well, I was having trouble getting up on time to join the morning group exercise at 3:20 a.m., as well as sending forth righteous thoughts as a group.
A few years ago, I stopped sleeping in bed to make it easier to get up for the morning exercises. Instead of laying in bed to sleep, I sat on a cushion next to my bed and leaned against it. It was very uncomfortable to sleep sitting up, but it indeed made it easier to wake up for morning exercises.
I understood that to save more lives I needed to follow higher standards and persistently cultivate myself more diligently. In the process of finding my attachments and trying to discard them, I started going to the neighboring buildings to distribute Falun Dafa materials.
I sent righteous thoughts one day for a dozen minutes before going out, and focused on eliminating the black hands, rotten ghosts, and communist evil spirits in the building I was going to. I also sent righteous thoughts to have my community’s electronic gate open for me to get out, and to have the people in the building I was going to, not walk around.
I was still nervous when leaving home. I kept sending righteous thoughts on the way, and when I got to my community exit, the gate was locked. A vehicle behind me kept honking, calling the guard, but no one responded.
I waited, as I firmly believed that the gate would open. Within ten seconds, three people appeared, wanting to go out.
Following them, I left the community. In the process of distributing the materials, I did not have any confrontations with people, and smoothly delivered everything I brought with me.
Every time I arrived at a new floor, I kept thinking, “Believing in Master and believing in the Fa, I will not run into any people.”
Once, while reading the Fa, I came to understand that every Dafa practitioner has heavenly dragons protecting them. When sending righteous thoughts before going to the building, I also asked the dragons to clear the scene first over the building I was going to.
When I arrived at the building, a man and three children in front of me were entering the building. I followed them quickly and went in. In the process of distributing the materials, I changed to a different floor when I heard someone on the floor I was about to enter.
There was an instance while I was distributing the materials on a certain floor, that an elderly couple came out of the elevator. Their sudden appearance startled me. I looked around, calmed myself, and walked downstairs to the next floor.
I thought while walking, “Don’t let them have any bad thoughts.” I stayed unmoved and finished distributing the materials.
Afterward, I looked inside for why I encountered people in the building. I came to understand that it was my pursuit, because I thought about “If I ran into people, let them not have any bad thoughts.”
When sending righteous thoughts before leaving the building, I focused on only one thought, “Do not to run into anyone.” As a result, I did not encounter anyone and did not experience any interference.
In the following several weeks, each time I went out to distribute materials, I felt I was practicing my belief in Master and Dafa. This process strengthened my belief in the practice.
I recently read a Minghui article about a practitioner being persecuted and his home being ransacked. Other practitioners sent righteous thoughts to help him. They asked Master for strengthening and used supernormal powers to remove all the photos of the Dafa practitioners from the computer, and all the Dafa practitioners’ phone numbers from this practitioner’s mobile phone.
It was proven afterwards that the practitioner’s computer and mobile phone had been wiped clean when checked. I was amazed, “Oh my, it can be like this!”
Master said,
“You need to know that when gods create humans, they can’t include in them gods’ thoughts and ways of thinking, since that would make them complete gods, not human beings.” (Teachings From a Tour of North America)
I came to understand that our thoughts tell the difference between being a human being and a god. If one thinks in a way that is above ordinary people’s thinking, and deals with situations based on the principles of Dafa instead of human notions, is he in a state of being a divine being?
If we want to reach consummation, all our thoughts must be based on the Fa.
I will continue cultivating myself diligently and follow Master’s teaching:
“…by way of godly righteous thoughts, walk the last leg of their journey well.” (“Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that Have a Hand in Interfering With Fa-Rectification,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III)
