(Clearwisdom.net) We were unable to print labels for the CDs we were distributing to people in our local area. Instead, we simply wrote a few words on the CD covers. Later I thought about printing some material to distribute with the CDs. That way, when people received a CD, they might better understand the contents, and the materials may interest them and encourage them to watch the CD. So I made some CDs with introduction materials. When I was about to distribute the CDs, fellow practitioner B came. He said it was not proper to make such materials, especially one that featured pictures of Shen Yun Performing Arts. Practitioner B told me his reasons, but I did not understand.
I said, "Then we will not use them. Fortunately, we have not printed all of them." The three of us started to pull out all the instructions from the CD packets. We took out a few hundred of them and practitioner B said, "Or maybe you can talk to other practitioners first." I answered, "No. It must be my problem. I understand."
When speaking with fellow practitioners, I know that we need to calmly listen to their comments. If I really understand the matter clearly based on the Fa, I should be able to tell if the other person is correct. I would be very sure and clear in my heart. This is the effect of the Fa. If others have different views, and I do not understand the Fa on a particular issue, then I may be puzzled. But later, during Fa study, I may suddenly come to understand. If I still don't understand, Master may choose some other way to point it out to me.
I was not familiar with operating a computer. I typed by slowly finding each letter on the keyboard, using the old "hunt and peck" method. The materials I produced to insert in the CDs represented my heart to save sentient beings. But practitioner B had his reasons, and I knew that we have to keep our approach righteous. We should not insist on a wrong thing after we have identified that it is wrong just because we have put effort into it. If we continue doing things incorrectly, we cannot save more people. The communication between fellow practitioners is for mutual correction and mutual improvement based on the Fa. But when it came to destroying those materials, I was really uncomfortable because they contained my hard work and determination.
I kept doing the three things normally, but sometimes I still wondered about why I was wrong. I could not understand it. I asked practitioner B again, but I still was puzzled. A few days later, a thought came to my mind, "There are others who even want to alter the Fa or the exercises to make them something that belongs to them..." ("Dafa Can Never be Plagiarized" in Essentials for Further Advancement) I suddenly understood. This was plagiarism! I was scared. At that moment, I felt Dafa's holiness, grandeur, and glory. I felt like I was covered by holy light, and I felt refreshed. I had a new understanding about why Master wants us to study the Fa well. Only by studying the Fa well, can we avoid making mistakes. We should measure things with the Fa, rather than using our "good heart" and human notions. Only by studying the Fa well, can we keep up with Master's progress during Fa-rectification.
I gained a new understanding about Master's Fa from this event.
"In fact, most interference for Dafa comes internally, from practitioners themselves. External factors can only affect a few individuals and are unable to alter the Fa. Whether it be at present or in the future, those who can undermine our Fa are none other than our own disciples. Be careful!" ("Immutable" in Essentials for Further Advancement)
"Safeguarding Dafa with your own conduct is forever the responsibility of Dafa disciples, because Dafa belongs to all sentient beings of the universe, and this includes you." ("Stability of the Fa" in Essentials for Further Advancement)
From my study of the Fa, I understand why Master does not allow us to be attached to ourselves. We can only gain the divine things by giving up our human things.
