(Clearwisdom.net) The articles from the Fifth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China have been published in four special editions. I feel that I have gained a lot by reading them. I sincerely thank Master for giving me a mirror in which I could see my shortcomings reflected. I congratulate practitioners who shared their experiences on the greatness of genuinely cultivating in Falun Dafa and validating Dafa and sincerely thank them for sharing their experiences. I truly thank fellow practitioners for their efforts, which contributed to the great success of this grand experience sharing conference for practitioners in China. I would like to share what I have learned from the conference.
I discovered the basis for sharing experiences
I also submitted my article for this experience sharing conference. While writing it, I saw that my xinxing improved. After I submitted the article, I was attached, hoping that Minghui (the Chinese version of Clearwisdom) would use my article. On November 1, the website started to publish the articles accepted for the Fifth Internet Experience Sharing Conference. I was glad to see that and I wanted to see my article published. At the time, I felt that I had cultivated well and had written the experience sharing article well and that Minghui would use my article. After reading the articles from this Internet Conference, I clearly saw the gap between myself and my fellow practitioners, and I was able to let go of my attachment as well. I saw from the sharing articles that after studying the Fa, fellow practitioners' xinxing improvements were naturally manifested through their actions, words, and thoughts. It was the natural product of their uplifted minds. From their behavior, the world's people deeply know that Falun Dafa is good, Falun Dafa is righteous, and Falun Dafa is compassionate. In comparison, my article tried to persuade the world's people and was also somewhat threatening. There was a fundamental difference between the basis of my and fellow practitioners' experience sharing.
Differences in the quality of righteous thoughts
The difference in the quality and strength of righteous thoughts is the difference in cultivators' levels. The state of a practitioner's righteous thoughts is consistent with the Fa-rectification period cultivation environment that he creates in saving sentient beings. I think that a practitioner's righteous thoughts are a cultivator's thoughts that conform to the Fa that Master taught. That is to say, what a practitioner thinks is completely consistent with Falun Dafa's requirements. The difference in the extent to which the thoughts are consistent with the Fa is the difference in the quality of cultivators' righteous thoughts. For example, for a long period of time, I held little compassion for sentient beings nor did I do well in persevering in doing the morning exercises. I knew that I was not up to par with Dafa's requirements for a practitioner and it was not the right state for a practitioner to be in. It was interference and I definitely needed to negate it, catch up with the process of Fa-rectification, and conform to the Fa's requirements during the Fa-rectification period. I thought I had righteous thoughts, but I could not reach the state required by Dafa, and this was actually a lack of righteous thoughts. It was shown to me through a fellow practitioner's sharing that practitioners' firm righteous thoughts cultivated from Dafa really disintegrated the evil and made the hearts of the police, wicked people, and the world's people fill with respect and awe for Dafa; they thereafter treated practitioners kindly and chose a good future for themselves.
New righteous thoughts were born
Falun Dafa practitioners who have endured and bathed in the broad expanse of Master's Buddha mercy deeply understand what they gain from their cultivation in Dafa. Master' s every word is true and the reason that we don't understand it is only because we have not yet reached that level.
