(Clearwisdom.net) I have realized that whenever I have been very focused on hi-tech Dafa work, once I came across difficulties, my thoughts would always be focusing on the technical aspect to solve the problem, trying to identify where some program was written incorrectly or why the hardware wasn't compatible with each other. I was always trying to look for the technical problem and fix it. However, I ended up not only spending lots of time to solve the problem, but also uncommon problems would occur. After having stumbled many times, I finally found the solution to the problems. It was because I didn't understand these tribulations from the Fa perspective, nor was I thinking that technical work goes hand in hand with my cultivation.

When I attended regular large-scale Hongfa (spreading the Fa) activities, came across conflicts, or came across other people having a misunderstanding towards Dafa, I could easily understand that it was my Xinxing (mind-nature) that caused the problem. How come it's not as easy when doing technical work? Because our ordinary thinking separates these two things, even though by understanding it from the Fa, we know that everything we come across is related to our cultivation. If whenever we came across tribulations, we would adopt such kinds of "tangible" methods first, what difference would there be between us as practitioners and ordinary people? The evil is very good at capitalizing on this kind of loophole, because we didn't relate technical Dafa work to Fa rectification and cultivation.

There was a practitioner who excelled at computers, and the strange thing is that his machine would very easily have problems. For unknown reasons his machine "froze" from time to time. In addition, the computers that were assembled by him to do Dafa work were "collectively poisoned," as if a virus only attacked him. Even though there were always ordinary explanations and human reasons to explain why every problem occurred, when looked at objectively, those people who are better at technical stuff were much more likely to have problems with their machines. Machines of Dafa practitioners were more likely to have problems than those of ordinary people. Does that make sense? Absolutely not! It is because of the evil's interference and damage. Obviously when we fix the machines, we would discuss how our righteous thoughts have to be strong on the surface level and how we should study Fa as much as possible, and so on. However, if we didn't realize from the bottom of our hearts this kind of interference coming from our seeing only the technical aspects of the machines, it wouldn't do us any good. The evil would only continue to be destructive non-stop.

One day I went to a work unit to install a server. When I had just installed some firewall software that I have installed numerous times before, something strange happened. The firewall software wouldn't start, and it couldn't be removed. The networking components wouldn't work either, seemingly because the software was malfunctioning, so I was busy dealing with it for a while. At the same time, there was another practitioner having a problem with his server too. I immediately realized that it was almost time to send forth righteous thoughts. Right away I crossed my both legs, sat on the chair, and let go of my competing heart, impatient heart, etc, which arose from not being able to solve the problem. When I cleaned up my thoughts, erected my right palm to send forth righteous thoughts, I felt immediately that there was a sense of pressure from a substance field coming towards me. I understood that it must be the center of the interference. All of sudden there was a sad feeling coming from my heart, because I understood that if it still kept interfering, what was waiting for it was elimination. After I sent forth righteous thoughts, the machine was back to normal after being rebooted, and so was the software. However, another practitioner was still making phone calls for help. What I realized was that the evil interference in other practitioners' fields has to be eliminated by themselves. á

After having gone through so many lessons, the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts is getting more and more obvious in Dafa work. To be specific, after sending forth righteous thoughts, interference from other dimensions will be eliminated, and wisdom would arise to help solve technical problems. That's why righteous thoughts are so important. As a matter of fact, it is easy to understand from the nature of cultivation, because during cultivation, only our hearts are examined. How righteous our practitioners behave directly affects how good or bad the outside environment is.

This is a little bit of what I have understood from my experience for everybody's reference.
