A Kind Reminder to Elderly Practitioners to Treat Cultivation Seriously

(Minghui.org) There are two common phenomena among elderly Falun Dafa practitioners in our local area, and both are completely against Master’s requirements when measured with the principle of taking the Fa as teacher.

Case 1

A practitioner kept “sending righteous thoughts” to help his child pass the exam to become a public servant. After his child became a public servant, the practitioner was extremely pleased with himself and boasted about it everywhere he went.

Sending righteous thoughts is to eliminate all the evil factors that persecute Dafa, and it is extremely solemn and sacred. How can it be used to seek personal fame and gain? Master has told us clearly about the seriousness of sending forth righteous thoughts. We absolutely cannot use it to achieve personal gains.

Case 2

Some practitioners do not cultivate their xinxing and are quick to get involved in conflicts among everyday people. One practitioner in our area gossips about things and is often foul-mouthed. When her problems were pointed out to her, instead of looking within, she became resentful and said that she didn’t need anyone to tell her what to do. Only Master has the final say about her, etc.

This behavior is damaging Dafa’s reputation. I would suggest that for these practitioners, it is better that they focus on the cultivation of speech and improving their xinxing. Even if active in doing Dafa work, that is no excuse for them to neglect personal cultivation.

The above is only my personal suggestion. Please kindly point out anything improper in my sharing.
