(Minghi.org) After we studied Master’s recent article “A Wake-Up Call” in our Fa study group, we agreed that we shouldn’t study the article in vain; we must follow Master’s teachings and have compassion all the time. We must be in the state of calmness and compassion all the time and get rid of bad thoughts and resentment. We shouldn’t get angry or raise our voices when we talk to people. In fact, it would be better not to speak or do anything if we are not in a calm and compassionate state.

A fellow practitioner’s arm and shoulder were swollen. We asked her if she had done anything wrong. She said that she hadn’t. I said that it must be karma that she committed in a previous lifetime. She laughed and acknowledged that it was a good thing, because the karma was dissolving. She reinforced her main consciousness and cultivated herself more diligently. She recovered one week later.

We realized that just like Master mentioned in his Fa lectures, whatever we come across, whether it is a good thing or bad thing, it is all good from a cultivation perspective.

A year ago, practitioner Ying (alias) had symptoms occasionally of losing her eyesight and falling down due to dizziness. Her son sent her to the hospital for treatment, and she was found to have high blood pressure. Her son forced her to take medicine.

I wanted to help Ying. I noticed that her face looked unpleasant, which reflected that she was not feeling kindness inside. Unkindness is a kind of demon nature that can lead to sickness or other problems.

I shared with Ying. Both of us were teachers. We used to be harsh on students and criticize them. We thought that we had to control the students and couldn’t let them use their free will. It became a habit to show our stern faces to the students, find their shortcomings, and pick on them. We lacked compassion and still had elements of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) culture in us. We realized that it was imperative that we develop compassion through cultivation.

Ying strongly agreed with me and decided to change herself. I felt that she would pass the test quickly. I told her to study the Fa more, change her mentality, and develop compassion.

When I went to Fa study the following week, her husband said that she had done well and had changed a lot. After the Fa study, I shared my thoughts. I said that when our thoughts and behavior are in line with the Fa, abnormalities will disappear, and the sickness karma will disappear as well. Ying said, “You are right. I must look within.”

She brought her husband’s niece to Fa study the following week. Her niece had become lax in her cultivation. Ying worried that she would be left behind, so had asked her to come to our Fa study to catch up. We were happy that Ying had become compassionate.

Ying’s blood pressure has come down, and her eyesight is much better now.

We have personally felt the joy of improving as a whole body through further understanding the importance of cultivating xinxing. We feel that it is important that practitioners help each other.
