Don't Let Notions Separate Us

April 5, 2011

(Clearwisdom.net)

When I used to associate with others, I often wondered why they suddenly no longer wanted to deal with me. Only after I began cultivation did I realize it was because I was too attached to myself and did not consider others.

I had very little contact with fellow practitioners and had few chances to share experiences. Master compassionately arranged for some diligent Dafa practitioners to work with me. Only later did I realize why. Cooperating and coordinating with fellow practitioners was always very pleasant. They were very kind and forgiving, and understood the Fa clearly. Also, because they were very capable, I learned a lot from them. Only when I was not very clear about the Fa would difficulties arise when we were doing things.

When I was hindered by notions that I was not aware of at the time, things would not go smoothly when I worked with fellow practitioners. Even though I tried my best to explain things clearly, they seemed really puzzled and did not know what I was trying to say. At those times I would spend more time studying the Fa. I told myself that I had to trust other practitioners and that I should not have any thoughts that were not based on the Fa. I would not let the evil take advantage of my loopholes and would cherish the chance working with fellow practitioners. When I let go of my attachment, believed in Master, and studied the Fa with full attention, usually the notions were eliminated and I regained my clear head.

Later I communicated with the side of me that cultivated well and asked for help. Sometimes I noticed an article was already “written” and I only needed to type it. It was amazing.

If I was in a hurry to write something, I would get stuck. Especially if I wrote with my individual notions, it would be worse, since it was not on the basis of the Fa. When I later came to my senses, I would be very sorry that I had made it harder for fellow practitioners. But I would often make the same mistakes. From Fa study I realized that I should keep a pure heart and mind when I write, and should not harbor any notions. Even though I could not always be that way, I wanted to cultivate myself well and be more considerate of others. When my xinxing improved, Master taught me how to write articles in my dreams and granted me wisdom. When I awoke, I could finish the article at one go. When I re-read the article, I would have a warm feeling inside with a deep sense of gratitude to Master and would tell myself that I had to be more diligent.

I have realized that when I work with fellow practitioners, I have to view the Fa as my teacher, use Fa to measure everything, and be considerate. When I run into conflicts, I must cultivate myself first, looking inward. When I correct myself, the road usually opens again, cooperation and coordination became smooth again, and we can accomplish anything.
