My Understanding of the Basis of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

(Minghui.org) It sounded interesting, and made me happy when I first heard of sending forth righteous thoughts. Without hesitation, my daughter and I sat down in full lotus position to send forth righteous thoughts as instructed. I soon felt very warm and had to take off my jacket. I still felt even hotter, however, so I stopped. The heat disappeared quickly after I stopped.

I wasn’t hot again when I sent forth righteous thoughts later, and I realized that Master was encouraging me to send forth righteous thoughts. I now always take sending forth righteous thoughts seriously because it is Master asking us to use our supernatural powers. Besides, I also firmly believe in the effect of sending righteous thoughts.

My sending forth righteous thoughts usually has good effects when I encounter interference or am helping fellow practitioners overcome sickness karma. Although I can’t see other dimensions, I can see that there are changes in this world.

My cultivation state has been very good for some time, and I have been able to send forth righteous thoughts ten times per day for a long time. Before doing so, I would think about sending forth righteous thoughts, and the basis of it. I usually based it on the purpose of assisting Master in Fa-rectification, and I try to cover as wide a range as possible so that the righteous thoughts can fully play their role.

When I help fellow practitioners to overcome sickness karma, I don’t add much to my thoughts. I just want to eliminate all evil beings and factors that interfere with fellow practitioner’s efforts to assist Master in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. In other words, the basis of sending righteous thoughts is to assist Master in Fa-rectification, and in saving sentient beings.

I talked with my mother-in-law about the basis of sending forth righteous thoughts before she passed away from sickness karma. But it appeared that she could not understand it. Her purpose was to eliminate the evil beings and factors that were interfering with her health. So her basis was for her own health, which is far from the reason that Master told us about.

At that time, my mother-in-law often called me to go to her house to help her, and every time I saw that her condition was improving. When I helped her send forth righteous thoughts, the first thing I thought of was eliminating the evil on a larger scale, for example, to cooperate with our local collective sending forth righteous thoughts. I wanted to clear out all the evil beings and factors in the other dimensions that interfere with Dafa disciples’ helping Master in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. I then joined in the elimination of all the evil beings and factors that interfere with my mother-in-law’s assisting Master in Fa-rectification and saving sentient beings. The effect was obvious every time.

In the process of helping a fellow practitioner with sickness karma, if the practitioner having the tribulation does not accept the help from practitioners, or has an opinion about other practitioners, then since these things are also of material existence, they will hinder the effectiveness of righteous thoughts. If someone thinks that helping fellow practitioners to send forth righteous thoughts is useless, it will have a counterproductive effect, because the thoughts he sends forth will be impure and will offset the overall righteous thoughts at the scene.

The following is a passage from Master’s teachings to encourage fellow practitioners. Master said:

“If every Dafa disciple could manage to treat sending righteous thoughts correctly, and routinely have strong righteous thoughts, then all evil spirits throughout the entire world could be quickly dissolved. If all Dafa disciples could grasp this, and all sincerely achieve a state of having their righteous thoughts be at their most powerful point, then one day would be enough to resolve things.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Epoch Times Meeting,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume X)
