(Minghui.org) Many recent articles on the Minghui website discuss the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts. We have learned from each other and achieved better results. Yet I have noticed that some fellow practitioners in my city are not fully clear on the essentials of sending righteous thoughts.
I asked another practitioner, “How do you cleanse yourself during the first five minutes before sending righteous thoughts?” She repeated what she remembered as the instructions. I noticed that what she said deviated quite a bit from the actual directions! I asked her to repeat them twice, but she still missed some words, probably because she became nervous. We reviewed “Editorial: The Essentials to Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts and the Schedule for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts at Set Times Around the World (Update 2)” together. She realized that Master had compassionately given her a hint, and she made corrections right away.
We began to pay attention to this issue and visited a group of practitioners in a nearby village. Every one of them recited what they remembered. Some made more mistakes, some fewer. When I joined my local study group that evening, I asked the other four practitioners to recite what they had remembered. Three of them made mistakes. Though all of them noted their mistakes and made corrections, I was surprised how common it was.
It has been over 20 years since that editorial was published on March 10, 2005. We have been sending forth righteous thoughts at least four times a day. We probably did it correctly at first, but as time passed by we didn’t pay close attention to it anymore, which formed a huge loophole for cultivators.
Master said,
“… our students can quiet their minds for five minutes, sitting with their hands in jieyin and thinking about eliminating the bad thoughts in their minds, their karma, bad notions, and external interference. As you’re like this, think that they die, and then they will be eliminated.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2001 Canada Fa Conference,” Guiding the Voyage)
I found that after reciting Master’s instructions word for word in my mind, I became clearheaded right away and felt the power of the Fa and my supernormal ability.
I would like to encourage practitioners to download and review “The Essentials to Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts and the Schedule for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts at Set Times Around the World (Update 2).” We should make sure that we are following the instructions accurately. Only when we send forth righteous thoughts as required will we get the desired results.
Master has told us,
“Let me tell you, all those who remain and that can persecute Dafa and Dafa disciples are due to our students themselves. Students who haven’t taken sending forth righteous thoughts seriously: the evil in the dimensions that you are supposed to shoulder and be responsible for has not been eliminated. That’s the cause.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Conference in Florida, U.S.A., Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume II)
