(Clearwisdom.net) Three months ago I went to an important tourist site to clarify the facts to tourists from China face to face. Before I went I heard that there was a lot of interference at that location. I did not know the reason why, and it didn't seem like the situation had anything to do with me. As a result, I did not take the situation seriously. I clarified the facts at the site for a few months and indeed encountered a lot of interference. Whenever there was interference, we looked within and sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate it so that we could persevere in saving sentient beings.
So why did we still encounter interference? I was still not able to pinpoint the reason. Did we not pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts? Or did we not study the Fa enough? We sent forth righteous thoughts many times daily, and some of us did it by the hour. We also attended group Fa study every day. After giving considerable thought to this issue, the Fa opened my wisdom. I began to understand the inner meaning of "paying attention to." "Paying attention to sending forth righteous thoughts" refers to the seriousness and the way we send them each time, not the number of times we send them. After examining our cultivation state, I found we indeed had big issues.
While sending forth righteous thoughts, we often felt sleepy and foggy headed. Due to sleepiness, our hand gestures were incorrect. I was not sleepy or foggy headed, but I could not calm down to truly concentrate. Master told us,
"Let me put it this way: Dafa disciples need to do three things well on their way to Consummation, right? And sending forth righteous thoughts is one of those things. If it's that important, why can't you do it well?! Why do you think of it as such a simple thing and not take it seriously? You do know how important it is. Besides, if you don't do one of the three things well, then what?
"I have seen many students doing this when they start to send righteous thoughts. (Teacher imitates a student falling asleep while sending righteous thoughts) (Teacher chuckles) (Audience laughs) What those evil specter factors of the vile Party want is precisely to make you drowsy, and the drowsier you get, the more they reinforce that drowsiness. They just won't let you send righteous thoughts, because by doing so you are purging them. When you send forth righteous thoughts to destroy them, they interfere." ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles" in 2006)
After I found the reason, I rectified myself, and my thoughts are now more concentrated. As a result, my righteous thoughts are strong. I feel that the dimensions around me are becoming clearer. In the past I felt pain while sending forth righteous thoughts in the lotus position. Now I do not feel anymore pain, but feel very light. Previously, because I had not eliminated my attachment, I felt pain in my legs. Now I have come to understand that this is interference from the evil. After I have eliminated the evil, I feel fine.
Above are some of my understandings that I would like to share with fellow practitioners. Heshi!
