(Clearwisdom.net) In the process of validating the Fa, I have come to the understanding that everything happening around me is not by coincidence. Some situations are meant to interfere with me, some may be arranged by Teacher to help me, and some may be arranged by Teacher so that I may save others. Regardless, everything can be rectified as long as I maintain righteous thoughts.
I set a goal for myself to help at least one person withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) each day on my way to and from work. When I get off work, I wait for the bus at the bus station. I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in the surrounding area and to help those who have a predestined relationship to hear the truth and agree to withdraw from the CCP. In general, I initiate a conversation by asking what time it is or which route to take, etc. Then I talk about the weather, social issues and corruption, etc. I ask the person if he/she had read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. By observing their reaction, you can tell if the person is a plainclothes police officer. If the answer is no, then I tell the person about the Nine Commentaries and advise the person to withdraw from the CCP.
When I distribute truth-clarifying materials in a residential area, I start from the upper floors and walk my way down. If I see someone walk past me, I send forth righteous thoughts for him to see the materials, to treasure them and be saved by them, and to not have any bad thoughts and be used by the evil elements to interfere with me.
One time my husband called as I was clarifying the truth to a classmate I hadn't seen for a long time. I answered the phone and sent forth righteous thoughts, "Do not interfere with me, and allow him to position himself in a good place." At first, my former classmate's attitude was not very good and he asked what I was doing. He regained his calm after I clarified the truth.
My child suddenly had a fever the day before I had arranged to work with a fellow practitioner. As I put down the sentimental mentality towards my child, I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate this interference. I refused to acknowledge this kind of persecution. As a result, my child's fever subsided quickly and I was able to do as I had planned.
When my co-worker told me that there was a problem with my salary, I recognized that that was also evil interference using economic means. I refused to acknowledge it and negated the evil arrangement.
When I hear about fellow practitioners who were illegally arrested, I immediately send forth righteous thoughts and negate the old forces that persecute practitioners. I also strengthen fellow practitioners' own righteous thoughts so that they may get out of detention. I myself still do what I need to do.
When I heard other practitioners tell me that the CCP plans to put all practitioners in prison before the 2008 Olympics, I sent forth righteous thoughts, "Eliminate this evil arrangement. Evil is nothing." Everything is according to Teacher's arrangement and nobody can touch me as long as I maintain righteous thoughts and righteous behaviors.
Of course, it is not enough only to eliminate the evil interference, we must rectify our own problems in a timely manner. For example, we need to eliminate our own attachments, such as showing off and zealotry. We also need to help eliminate others' attachments when we clarify the truth and advise others to withdraw from the CCP. Everything we do is for sentient beings to be saved. It is completely selfless and it is all because of the power of the Fa. We only do our best to fulfill a practitioner's duty.
