(Clearwisdom.net) In "Fa Teaching Given in Manhattan," March 26, 2006, Master said:
"As gods see it, for a cultivator to be right or wrong in the human world is not important in the least, whereas eliminating the attachments that come from human thinking is important, and it is precisely your managing to eliminate those attachments rooted in your human thinking as you cultivate that counts as important."
As the Fa-rectification has progressed to the last stage, all Falun Dafa practitioners should make use of every minute to save sentient beings. In my understanding, whoever creates a negative influence in the effort of saving sentient beings, or disrupts practitioners from working effectively and efficiently as one body, is interfering in the Fa-rectification. In certain regions in mainland China, because practitioners have different understandings of the Fa or do things differently, they have developed conflicts and gaps among each other. Some practitioners have become very frustrated. In actuality, unwittingly, they have created interference among themselves. Because they can't handle the conflicts well, they have caused losses to the Fa. This has become very serious in some regions.
Every practitioner is walking his own path to validate the Fa and fulfill his mission. We should cooperate well with our fellow practitioners so that we can improve together, do the three things well, break through various barriers and pressures, and let go of our personal gains or losses. With righteous faith, righteous thoughts and righteous actions, we are assured of a bright future.
Practitioners who do coordination work usually shoulder many Fa-rectification-related projects and responsibilities. They are the hub of contact for many practitioners who encompass different levels, realms and understandings of the Fa. Because of this, they will inevitably encounter various conflicts or issues. Conflicts resulting from human thinking and attachments are often very complex. When conflicts or tribulations come, it is hard for them to pass the test. But as coordinators, they should have the ability to be self-motivated and the capacity to tolerate and understand others, and, using their great compassion and benevolence, dissolve all differences arising from practitioners. They shouldn't pay too much attention to how others look at them. Instead, they should just do what Master teaches them, walk steadfastly on their paths, and harmonize what Master wants, unconditionally. As long as their behavior does not deviate from the Fa and their thoughts are righteous, they shouldn't be too mindful about what others say. As long as Master acknowledges them, that's what counts. When conflicts arise, we mustn't be moved by human attachments or sentimentality. We should calm ourselves down, look within and see if our behavior is in accordance with the standard of the Fa.
Many practitioners have shared on this: If we are to improve as one body, it is better for us to quickly let go of our human attachments. This is a good chance to upgrade together. We all work together to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. We can do a better job only if we can let go of our egos. We shouldn't become despondent easily and let our frustration affect our pace in cultivation just because other practitioners hold different views or understandings. We should also appreciate practitioners' sharings on Clearwisdom. The sharing itself doesn't represent a cultivator's level or realm, nor does it indicate how well this practitioner has cultivated. The sharing is just a practitioner's personal understanding of the Fa. It doesn't represent the Fa. We shouldn't create conflicts and alienation among practitioners just because of a sharing or a different viewpoint. Alienation among ourselves would only serve to affect the overall coordination in saving sentient beings. This is what the evil really likes to see. We have to be aware of what kind of hidden attachment we might have that prompts us to fight for what we believe to be right or wrong.
All practitioners should be clear-minded and sensible. We shouldn't fall into what is right or wrong on the surface. I suggest that whoever is moved by what is right and wrong, they should realize: what safeguards that human attachment is my human thinking and sentimentality, but not the Fa. If we truly live for the Fa, what can't we let go of? I really hope that all practitioners will see others' good sides and try to understand them. Practitioners who do coordination work especially have made sacrifices and borne a lot of responsibilities. We should try to put ourselves in their shoes and try to understand them. Regardless of the circumstances or conditions, we should always be able to show compassion to our fellow practitioners. This is the realm of a real cultivator. Do not overemphasize differences in viewpoints. We should use the Fa as the sole standard. Ordinary people also talk about "standard." Dafa is the unchangeable standard for us. I hope that all practitioners will coordinate well with one another and do their best to do what they ought to do in this period of time.
