(Clearwisdom.net) Practitioners encounter tribulations and good things daily aimed at eliminating their attachments. What I realized is that practitioners do well when holding righteous thoughts at all times, no matter where they are. This is because Teacher is watching over us and gives us his blessings. If we walk righteously and have no loopholes, the old forces can't take advantage of us and we have nothing to fear. We assist Teacher in validating the Fa and saving sentient beings.

1. Remove Personal Interests

I own a store in a large shopping center. I hired a lady who used to be a manager, and was a single mother of a boy. This lady had been out of work for a long time and they suffered hardship. I hired her, trusted her and put her in charge of a great many things. Unfortunately, this lady abused our trust, stole our customers, defamed our reputation and opened a store beside ours. This caused great damage to our business. Even the general manager of this shopping center thought her behavior outrageous and advised me, "What this lady has done shouldn't be tolerated. If you wish, we can drive her away."

I'm a practitioner, Teacher requires us to look within when there are problems. We are here to save sentient beings and should not harm anyone or anything. We should show ordinary people the demeanor of a practitioner. So I said to the general manager, "It is not easy for this lady to support herself and her son. She needs to earn money." The general manager was shocked at my words and showed thumbs-up.

Practitioners' words and behavior affect how ordinary people think of Dafa. So we should show kindness and tolerance at all times.

There was a boil on our housemaid's hand, which was painful. I told her to say "Falun Dafa is Good." Soon the boil disappeared and she witnessed the miracle of Dafa. Once she happened to meet some people who were slandering Dafa. She told them that Dafa is good, and how nice we treat her. She also told them that her boil disappeared after she recited "Falun Dafa is Good."

2. Treat Fellow Practitioners with Compassion and Form one Body

Because we are cultivating in human society, our human minds will try to overpower us. The old forces use the shortcoming of fellow practitioners to keep us apart. We have to treat the shortcomings of fellow practitioners with compassion.

One day I had lunch with a practitioner. The practitioner told me that my husband had a very good relationship with a female fellow practitioner and often spent nights at her home. This hurt me deeply, but I didn't show it. I even claimed that my husband helped with some technical problems. After returning home, I told my husband that his behavior caused us to be the subject of gossip. Later, we realized that it was because we still had not given up lust, but, this in no way excused his behavior. The relationship between male and female practitioners should be handled righteously.
