(Clearwisdom.net) This morning, I went to a fellow practitioner's home to study the Fa. After we finished studying, this practitioner kindly pointed out some shortcomings in my cultivation. I am a person who likes to listen to praise, so though I didn't show any unhappiness, deep in my heart I felt like complaining to him and wanted to refute the criticism. But I knew that I was wrong because I hadn't been diligent enough in my practice.
When I had lunch, I was still thinking about what the practitioner said to me. When I looked inward, I noticed that I had the attachments of showing off, of lust, and of depending on others. The old forces were able to again and again take advantage of these loopholes. It was my fault that I didn't cultivate well, so why was I afraid of my shortcomings being pointed out by other practitioners? I then realized that I still have a strong attachment of not being willing to be criticized by others.
Looking back at my cultivation status, I was ashamed. I am a veteran practitioner with over ten years of cultivation experience. Why can I not walk the path to divine maturity, wisely and stably? There was nothing wrong with what the fellow practitioner said to me. The major thing is to study the Fa more and focus on Fa study. When I studied Zhuan Falun every day, my mind was not focused. Even when I attended the group Fa study at another practitioner's home, I was always distracted. From now on, I will study the Fa with an attentive mind. I should study the Fa seriously, study the Fa more, and try my best to do the three things well.
