Enlightenment from Study of the Article "Righteous Thoughts"

Nov. 18, 2002 |   By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) After receiving Teacher's new article "Righteous Thoughts," I kept rereading it until I found my deficiency. I came to a new understanding of the inner meaning of "Righteous Thoughts" and enhanced my righteous thoughts. At 6 pm, when it was time for global sending forth of righteous thoughts, I cleared my own field and expelled external interference for 5 minutes, then held my palm upright according to the requirements of Master's article "Righteous Thoughts," "(2) The disciples who for the time being aren't able to see other dimensions can focus powerful thoughts in saying the word Mie1 () after they finish saying the formula(s). The Mie () word needs to be so strong that it's as large as the cosmic body, encompassing everything and leaving out nothing in any dimension."

When I sent forth righteous thoughts, as soon as I said Mie (), I could see a strong flow of energy directly emitted to the cosmos, exceedingly lofty like lightning, with all the evil beings and rotten ghosts (which appeared to be black, and about one inch tall) frightened and running around. The energy that Dafa disciples emitted in sending forth righteous thoughts was all over the entire universe, the radiance was lofty, giving the evils and rotten ghosts nowhere to hide. When I saw their filthiness, I thought in my mind "the existence of these rotten ghouls should not be allowed," and they immediately dissolved. Then I did the lotus hand position. I didn't see anything else in other dimensions, but held my body upright, with an air of supremacy.

In the evening, as I reviewed the article "Righteous Thoughts," I realized that with the Fa-rectification coming, we must master sending forth righteous thoughts, clarify the truth, an study the article "Righteous Thoughts" well. We might gain a profound understanding that could play an important role. As Teacher says, "Dafa disciples are now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation. So, in order to do Fa-rectification more effectively, while you clarify the facts you have to take sending righteous thoughts very seriously, and in a timely manner purge the evil and your own problems so that you won't be taken advantage of by the evil." ("Righteous Thoughts") Thinking of this while I did the lotus hand position, I did not have a good effect. I looked into myself and found that at that moment there was a little excitement flowing out. I was not clear about that and did not clear my own space field, which was taken advantage of by the evil, as Teacher says, "so they can't achieve a very good effect." ("Righteous Thoughts") After digging this obstacle out by its roots, when I sent forth righteous thoughts, spoke the Fa-rectification verses and performed the lotus hand position, countless Falun rotated out from both palms and flew to the cosmos.

As I was writing this, the three words "loss and gain" appeared in my mind. Master talked about loss and gain in Lecture 4 in Zhuan Falun, "For the loss we discuss is one in a broad sense. During the entire course of cultivation, we should lose all everyday people's attachments and various desires." In the Fa-rectification period, only when Dafa disciples get rid of everyday people's attachments and desires and lose the heart of pursuing material benefits, can they reach the realm of unselfishness and have great compassion to save sentient beings. By being responsible to the Fa, and being responsible for sentient beings, we are truly being responsible for ourselves.

When I read the last paragraph, "To reduce the losses, and to save sentient beings, put your Dafa disciples' powerful righteous thoughts to full use! Show your Mighty Virtue!" my eyes blurred with tears right away. Once again I was touched by our great Master's boundless compassion to Dafa disciples and sentient beings. A feeling that could not be expressed was deep in my heart.

Every enlightenment is from a principle of Dafa, every righteous thought displays determination and righteous belief in Dafa, and every righteous action is protected by the compassion of our great Master. I would like to do all Dafa work well, foregoing everything of everyday people. This was the oath that I gave and it is my duty-bound responsibility.
