Enlightening to Teacher's Fa on "Pulling Teeth"

July 9, 2008 |   By a practitioner from Qiqihar City

(Clearwisdom.net) On July 16, 1993, Teacher started a series of Fa lectures in Qiqihar City, which I was fortunate to attend. Ever since that day, I have been walking the path of return, the most significant journey of my life. During the past fifteen years, my Fa study and xinxing cultivation have become deeper and deeper, and I have experienced various soul-touching tribulations. Along the way, I have become more and more able to feel the miracle and profound nature of Dafa. Due to the limited space for this article, I will just write here my enlightenment to the Fa on "pulling teeth" in my sharing, celebrating the 15th anniversary of Teacher's visit to Qiqihar City and spreading the Fa here.

When Teacher came to Qiqihar City to give Fa lectures, he mentioned the incident about "pulling teeth." At the time, many people present, myself included, had seen the person from the south pulling teeth and selling his liquid drug near the No. 2 entrance gate to Longsha Park. The pile of teeth looked like a small mountain at his vendor's stand, which I can still vividly recall. However, it was completely unexpected that such a profound law and principle manifests in such a trivial thing as pulling teeth.

On a superficial level, the teaching about "pulling teeth" seems only to illustrate the Fa that ancient herbs can deliver better results than modern medicine and technology. However, I have come to the enlightenment that the teaching not only breaks and eliminates our notions of modern science but also illustrates that the "invisible" is superior to the "visible." The invisible fumes from the yellow liquid drug could loosen a deeply-rooted tooth, despite being obstructed by the patient's cheek. The fumes operate in other dimensions, while modern high precision instruments work in this dimension. Although modern technology enable pulling teeth by means of a painful operation, it is relatively troublesome and clumsy for both operator and patient.

Relating pulling teeth to today's ongoing sending forth righteous thoughts, I think Dafa disciples sending righteous thoughts is similar to using the thick fumes of the yellow liquid drug to remove the teeth. The fumes are invisible to human naked eyes, but it can loosen and free the tooth root despite the obstruction of the cheek. Similarly, Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts are also invisible but can eliminate evil despite the obstruction of high mountains, tall prison walls with iron bars, and other visible barriers. Our righteous thoughts are even stronger and more powerful than the yellow fumes. Our eliminating the evil is like pulling teeth from a tiger's jaw. It appears to be difficult, but we can indeed completely destroy the dark minions, the evil party and the evil spirit that props it up, along with the rotten ghosts with our righteous thoughts. The power of our righteous thoughts finds no match in modern warplanes or missiles. It is the manifestation of the profound state of,

"A forward move,
myriad things come into being
A step back,
all turns to nothing,
forever to be a mystery"

("Nothing" from Hong Yin II)

Today at the time of the 15th anniversary celebrating Teacher's visit to Qiqihar City to spread the Fa, I write about my enlightenment and hope my fellow practitioners will not deem the evil's state apparatus as formidable. The evil is merely a few small and weak teeth, although they seem to be strong when they gather together. Let's send forth strong righteous thoughts, break and destroy the evil's root in other dimensions, validate the Fa, and completely eliminate the evil.

If there is anything that falls short of the standards of the Fa in the above sharing, fellow practitioners please kindly point it out.
