(Minghui.org) Conflicts sometimes arise when practitioners work on projects. When facing these conflicts, some practitioners are attached to superficial right and wrong and cannot not stay calm. They forget to look inward and cultivate themselves. Judging fellow practitioners and suspecting them are attachments. Driven by suspicion, practitioners sometimes jump to inappropriate conclusions based on their own notions, and spread them to other practitioners. This creates loopholes and more conflicts, thereby following the old forces' arrangements.

Both sides involved in any conflict should look inward. They should not be attached to the surface reason of the conflict and argue over who is right and who is wrong. There are karmic relationships behind the conflicts, and it is not as simple as what we see on the surface. We should look inward unconditionally, as there will inevitably be something that you should improve upon.

For example, a fellow practitioner once claimed that I had lied to her, which was not true. But when I looked inward, I realized that I, myself, sometimes lie in daily life. Actually, Master was reminding me using that practitioner's words. I realized that we should follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Every thought should be assimilated to the Fa principles without exception. We should look inward to see which attachments should be eliminated. All conflicts will be resolved if we all look inward unconditionally.

If the conflicts still exist after we let go of our own attachments, there is a possibility that the old forces are interfering with us using the other party's attachment. In that case, we should send forth righteous thoughts for fellow practitioners. We should be compassionate and tolerant toward fellow practitioners, but firm when we send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the interference and protect fellow practitioners. It's a good idea to study the Fa together and be diligent together.
