Sharing Understandings with Practitioners Doing Media Work

Nov. 27, 2010 |   By a practitioner in San Francisco

(Clearwisdom.net) In my opinion, our first role in this world as Dafa cultivators is our mission to save people. To do this, we established several media outlets. The form is not important, however, what matters is the mentality and the heart behind it. If our hearts are pure and our cultivation states are good, then the path will naturally form under Master's arrangements. Therefore, it's most vital for us to do the three things well amidst our daily life. After all, instead of being everyday people running the media, it's a group of mission-bestowed cultivators who are saving people using this form creating a culture for them in the future.

It is not practical to worry about how and what to create for this culture, because we do not know. Only Master knows everything about the future. As long as we have this wish and do well in our cultivation practice, the path will manifest itself to us. My personal cultivation experience tells me that, in a certain dimension, it can be seen that the path is formed by one's pure wish, effort and dedication. We have all learned from Master's Fa and understand what we must do now is to have our media on the path of earnings. By then, a broader road will form based on our diligence and dedication. The more dedication and the stronger righteous thoughts we have, the broader the road will become.

We have invested a lot of effort and thought into how to generate earnings, and everyone has a good idea, but in the end the ideas were held back by all kinds of obstacles. From the standpoint of the Fa, this was caused by the manifestation in the lowest physical dimension of our human side which have not finished cultivation. I think the best way to change this is for everyone to look within and improve. Master has told us clearly,

"However, if you are focused on the superficial, ordinary human things, then you are attached and are using human thinking. Don't give weight to such things. If you can manage to quietly complete what you notice is lacking, quietly do well what you should do, and quietly do something well when you find it to have been done less than ideally, then the multitude of gods will have tremendous admiration for you and exclaim that this person is simply extraordinary." ("Be More Diligent")

I have enlightened that, our physical dimensions coexist with each other--you are in my dimension, and he is in your dimension--and the problems we have are common, so when one practitioner improves, the entire area is affected just like opening hundreds of energy channels via one energy channel. Master has taught that, "Just by remaining unmoved you could handle all situations." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2005 Canada Fa Conference") I understand that, it applies to not only to constraining the evil, but also to everything else in our dimension, including other practitioners. If one of us does well and makes improvements, I think we will see our entire body changing and improving also. But because we are in delusion, we will only feel, "Wow, the situation has changed, and the path has shown itself." Of course this is inseparable with Master's merciful strengthening in the macroscopic level, but I think every individual's improvement in turn affects the entire body, and it goes hand in hand. Therefore, every individual's improvements count, and if we want to improve our media work, let's start with each individual.

I have to stress that each individual's improvement within the Fa is critical. We are one body, therefore, we must complement each other and harmonize the entire body. As soon as we understand the relationship between individuality and one body, I believe we can do projects well in the future.

This concludes my understandings. Please kindly point out anything improper.
