Becoming Diligent

Dec. 28, 2009 |   By a Falun Gong practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) My work group had some difficulties in a science research project this year. The first difficulty was that a technology bottleneck could not be broken through. The second was that the conditions for the workers were not good (for example, ignoring schedules and delaying the project). The director of the group claimed that if we could not achieve our goal, our group would have to be terminated, our salaries would need to be returned and we would be laid off. Although I was not directly involved with the research, I was affected. If the group was terminated, I would be laid off.

From the perspective of the Fa, I understood that my environment was closely related to my cultivation. I studied the Fa, searched inward, and examined how I had performed the three things recently. I realized that I did not study the Fa very much (about one hour a day), and I often fell asleep while practicing the sitting meditation. I could not concentrate while sending forth righteous thoughts, and generally did it for fewer than 15 minutes. Fellow practitioners sent me their collected lists of telephone numbers and email addresses. I delayed in uploading them to the Minghui website for weeks. I was lazy and slothful. I needed to completely change myself in order to become diligent.

I made a plan for daily Fa study, exercise practice, sending forth righteous thoughts, and truth clarification. I treated the plan as my prehistoric vow. If I could not complete it, I would be breaking my vow. When I was becoming lazy, I remembered that I am a Falun Dafa disciple and can never break my vow. Therefore, I tried whatever I could to overcome all kinds of difficulties and interference every day in order to follow through with my plan.

Merciful Master saw my wish to be diligent and created an environment for me to carry out my plan. Two weeks later, I was assigned to be in charge of the document library of our group and my desk was the only one in the library. Now I am able to send forth righteous thoughts with hand gestures. I brought my electronic book with me so that I can study the Fa at break time and I feel that I have made some progress in cultivation recently. My energy field is very strong while sending forth righteous thoughts and my attachment of fear is getting weaker and weaker. I don't sleep much, but still feel energetic every day. My co-workers told me that I looked very healthy. Some of them directly asked for truth-clarification materials from me and some of them even started to practice the exercises at home. The conditions for my work group have become much better now. A lot of difficulties have been resolved like miracles.

There is not much time left. Let's be diligent!
