Cultivating Diligently

Jan. 30, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) I have learned a lot from the woman that I often go out with to talk to people about Falun Dafa and the persecution. She is in her 50s and never went to school. She has few attachments and has very strong righteous thoughts. Compared to her, I notice many of my own shortcomings.

She looks at things simply. Whatever Teacher asks us to do, she does well without falling short. As soon as she learned about sending forth righteous thoughts, she began doing it four times every day and has done all these years, including holidays. She only sleeps several hours a day. She created a cultivation environment with her efforts.

Once time around the Chinese New Year, her son-in-law, who is rarely at her home, brought some goods for the new year. She was sitting there sending forth righteous thoughts. When her son-in-law opened the door, she only smiled to him and said simply, "This is being done globally." He nodded: "Oh, it's global, then continue." Then he closed the door quietly so no one would disturb her. She always sends forth righteous thoughts on the exact hours. Her children all know it, and they don't even make phone calls during these times.

When her seven-year-old granddaughter comes to visit, the little girl walks very quietly if she sees Grandma sending forth righteous thoughts. One day, a six-year-old boy of another practitioner came to visit. He was a little naughty. When Grandma was sitting sending forth righteous thoughts, he went behind her and tried to tease her. She just said, "Don't move." The boy sat there quietly for 15 minutes until she was finished. Then she smiled and hugged him.

When she "clarifies the facts," she does not say too much but what she does say is simple and straightforward. Since she has such strong righteous thoughts, the understanding side of people can be moved right away. She may say something like, "Hello sir. Let me say that wherever you go, I hope you are safe and well. If you registered as a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Communist Youth League, or the Young Pioneers, let me help you quit. Let's recite sincerely 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good.'" She can encourage several dozen people to quit the CCP and its associated organizations in one afternoon.
