Lesson Learned from Not Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

Feb. 12, 2009 |   By Qingshi, a practitioner in Qingdao City, Shandong Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Usually, I send forth righteous thoughts once every two hours. Doing so helps me have righteous thoughts every day. However, not long ago our company took a big order and wanted me to work continuously. I even needed to work overtime. Just like that, I unknowingly let up on sending forth righteous thoughts. Other than occasionally sending righteous thoughts four times a day, I did not do so at any other time. I was busy with work. In about four or five days, I started to feel uncomfortable, and this feeling became worse and worse. My body was in a state of unbearable fatigue. In order to eliminate this state, I insisted on standing up to do a Dafa exercise. My body started shaking uncontrollably and I got too tired. I thought that it was due to working long hours. After I finished the exercise, my body felt clear and transparent, but that did not solve my "fatigue." As time passed, this fatigue became stronger and stronger. I was in extreme pain and was fearful. I also felt I could not bear such an ordeal. It seemed I would lose my life at any moment.

I felt desperate and I did not know why. I recalled that such a situation had happened twice before in the past four or five years. The first time, I took some days off. I blamed the feeling of fatigue on work. The second time, I suffered so much that I had tears. I just could not believe I lived through it. Later, I discovered it was partly caused by my attachment to an easy life. But what was the reason this time? I didn't have a clue. I sat down and sent forth righteous thoughts for two hours, then quietly fell asleep. When I woke up, I was clear and I knew the cause: I was not sending righteous thoughts on time. Master said in Righteous Thoughts: "in a timely manner purge the evil and your own problems so that you won't be taken advantage of by the evil." I had not been sending righteous thoughts "in a timely manner" and was being taken advantage of.

This terrible feeling of fatigue did not go away all at once and actually appeared a few times again. However, it did get weaker and weaker. As I continuously added more righteous thoughts, it finally disappeared. I recovered my previous happiness.

Through this lesson, I completely understand that my three bouts with the "fatigue state" were caused by the fact that I did not send righteous thoughts on time. I learned a profound lesson from this. It taught me that I should not neglect sending righteous thoughts no matter how busy my work is.
