(Clearwisdom.net) Today when I looked at the calendar, I suddenly saw that it was already September 23. It had been 15 days since the announcement was made calling for experience sharing articles for the Sixth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China. In ten days, it would be Moon Festival. How time flies. As Dafa practitioners, if we relax and became less diligent, our previous efforts in cultivation will be in vain, leaving us with endless regret.
We have all felt time moving faster and faster, so, many times we've done things hastily, not knowing which to do first. Moreover, we've done things passively. Let me give some examples. When I read articles on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website that mentioned fellow practitioners in other areas doing a good job in exposing the evil, I would immediately expose the evil people in my area on the Internet; When I saw practitioners in other areas had made nice clarifying-truth materials, I would print them out and put them up. When Master asked us to set up material production sites everywhere, many family production sites were established. The list goes on. All these were passive responses. We followed others and did whatever they had already done. Not only that, we did things in a hurry.
After studying the Fa over and over again, I enlightened that I should follow Master's requirements to do things. No matter to what extent I am enlightened, I should do it. We can exchange ideas among fellow practitioners, but we still need to follow our own cultivation paths. Master said: "But a person always has to enlighten on his own to what he should do in the face of tribulations." "The path a Dafa disciple takes is a glorious history, and this history has to be created by his own enlightening." ("Path,"in Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I adjusted myself and studied the Fa more than before. I started ti actively do the three things and stopped being passive. By improving myself, I got rid of the feeling of being pushed by time, rather, I could make full use of time. I made full use of every possibility to save people with predestined relationships. I was ahead of time and was the master of time. I would like to share my experience in this regard.
Every day, I make sure that I study the Fa for two hours and practice the exercises. If one day I am too busy to study the Fa or practice the exercises, I will definitely make up for it. I send forth righteous thoughts four times a day. Whenever I get a chance, I send forth righteous thoughts at work to disseminate all the evil factors. When I am walking on the street and see passersby, I also send forth a righteous thought: "Master, please fortify my righteous thoughts to completely disseminate the evil factors, dark minions, rotten demons, and the CCP evil specter that prevents predestined people from knowing the truth. Please let all the predestined people know the truth, renounce their membership in the CCP, and be saved."
I keep righteous thoughts all the time, which increases the effectiveness of my efforts to clarify the truth. People are willing to accept the truth and renounce their memberships from the CCP and its affiliated associations. This effectiveness results from studying the Fa diligently. I was enlightened that as long as I did things according to Master's requirements every time, we can get endless wisdom to rectify the Fa and save sentient beings well. Sometimes it has seemed very difficult, but there would be some way to solve the problem immediately. This experience is too wonderful to describe in mere words!
For example, once I really wanted to burn a DVD of the Shen Yuan show. I had the software to burn a disk in my computer, already installed, but I did not know how to use the software, and I did not know where to start with. However, I had this righteous thought that I must successfully burn this disk. I opened the file for the 2009 Shen Yun show by clicking it twice. It automatically started to burn the disk. It only took me a few minutes to complete it. I played it on my computer, and it was good quality. I was very happy. I put my palms together to thank Master for his benevolent enlightening. We only have the thought, and Master will help us. Teacher's grace is indeed infinite!
When we overcome our acquired notions, we will find that many things get easier. Cultivation is to get rid of all the acquired, deformed notions; return to the true self; and be assimilated into Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. When we understand the Fa clearly and have powerful righteous thoughts and righteous actions, we will feel enriched. Although time is passing quickly, we will not be left behind, so we won't feel regret. As Dafa practitioners, we must make sure to be mindful of our responsibilities. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we should keep the Fa in mind. We must motivate ourselves to do the three things well using the Fa and not waste a minute or a second. Since the remaining time is for Dafa practitioners to rectify the Fa and save sentient beings, we should strictly follow a high standard in the Fa. Every thought should be on the Fa. To completely disseminate the evil old forces, we should purify our energy field. We should make sure that, wherever we go, we can purify that space and save all the predestined people. Only in this way can we keep our promise made before we came to the human world.
