The Clearwisdom Website often publishes articles about ordinary people reciting, "Falun Dafa is good" and later receiving blessings and experiencing miracles. After reading these reports, I thought about why reciting "Falun Dafa is good" helps people improve their health, become more fit, get rid of bad fortune, resolve adversity and turn bad luck into good. Through studying the Fa, I gained a clearer understanding about this issue.
In "Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference" Teacher says:
"Even when an ordinary person shouts out "Falun Dafa is good" today, Master will protect him, since he's shouted those words I can't not protect him amidst the evil. And how much more so am I protecting you cultivators!"
The Fa-principles tell us that ordinary people who recite, "Falun Dafa is good" receive blessings because Teacher protects them. How lucky the sentient beings are who live in the period when Dafa is widely spread! Teacher gives sentient beings in the cosmos everything that's the most wonderful and the opportunity to choose their future. When an ordinary person recites, "Falun Dafa is good," he is already acknowledging that Falun Dafa is good, believing in Falun Dafa and sending out the best thought in the cosmos. This best thought intimidates and eliminates the evil and disintegrates all unrighteous elements in the cosmos. If the number of people who recite, "Falun Dafa is good" keeps increasing, more people will be saved and there will be less evil. We are then getting closer to the historical moment when the entire population is going to step forward to oppose the persecution. Having understood this Fa-principle, when I explained the truth about Falun Gong to people I also told them to recite, "Falun Dafa is good," and the effect I got was very good.
A friend of mine is a teacher. She experienced very strong reactions during her pregnancy, including nausea, vomiting and feeling bad all over, which kept her from going to work. A fellow practitioner and I went to her home. We told her to recite "Falun Dafa is good" and she would definitely get well. She believed us and immediately closed her eyes to quietly recite, "Falun Dafa is good" several times. She told us that as soon as she recited, "Falun Dafa is good" she saw silver-colored houses and roads. She personally experienced Dafa's supernormal phenomena. That day she ate a lot, but she did not throw up, and instead felt great.
A worker who lives near me had an illness that made him vomit blood. I told him the truth about Falun Dafa, asked him to recite "Falun Dafa is good" and told him that then he would stop vomiting blood. In his spare time at work he constantly recited, "Falun Dafa is good." He told me that the first day when he started reciting "Falun Dafa is good" he stopped throwing up and he had since stopped vomiting blood; at work he ran into troubles that seemed to be impossible to resolve, yet they were all resolved smoothly.
One day I ran into a lady who worked in a child-care center. I told her the truth about Falun Dafa and told her to recite "Falun Dafa is good" to improve her health and become fit. After about two weeks I accidentally ran into her again. She happily told me, "My health is getting much better." Then she repeated, "Falun Dafa is good."
When an ordinary person recites, "Falun Dafa is good," on the surface it looks like it is for improving health and getting fit. In fact, it is his or her aware side taking effect. In "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference" Teacher says,
"As you clarify the truth, the words you speak and the energy you emit have the effect of intimidating and eliminating the evil. You are crucial in determining whether the beings in this world stay or get eliminated. If your words are pure and righteous they will really go right into the innermost part of people's thoughts, and instantly make people understand."
When we tell people to recite "Falun Dafa is good," we are based on the standpoint of validating the Fa and saving sentient beings; yet, our real goal is absolutely not for the sake of improving health, getting fit, getting rid of bad fortune or resolving adversity. If our standpoint is not right, telling people to recite "Falun Dafa is good" is not going to have a good effect.
"We'd say that a good or bad outcome comes from one thought. The difference in one thought leads to different results." (From Zhuan Falun)
The above is just my understanding at my own realm. Please correct me if there is anything improper.
