(Clearwisdom.net) A male teacher in my office often used foul language when speaking to female teachers. When he wasn't doing that, he constantly complained about the supervisor. I was bothered by it, but didn't want to get angry at him, so I told him nicely to stop. He said I wasn't normal, and not like a man. In the end, I decided not to pay attention to him and went outside to recite the Dafa teachings, and only went to the office when I had to.
Yesterday after I had listened to Teacher's "Lecture to Australian Practitioners," I enlightened that Teacher wanted us to look inward, which I did not do before, thinking that it had nothing to do with me. Once I did look inside, I found that my attachment to lust had not been cleared away completely. In 2001, because of my attachment to lust, the evil found a loophole and I was persecuted for two years. After I was released, I thought that I had eliminated it through Fa-study. When I saw pornographic things, I switched them off after a glance but I always felt that I wasn't completely rid of the attachment of lust, and that something from it still remained in my mind. Otherwise why would I see the pornography and why did improper things occur at my workplace? Upon looking inward further, I found that I also had the attachment to good food. When I sent forth righteous thoughts and studied the Fa, I had many interfering thoughts and I often felt sleepy. I found then that the origin of these interfering thoughts was selfishness that I needed to eliminate.
The next day, I sent forth righteous thoughts to clear away the bad factors behind them, while in the mean time eliminating the attachments in myself. As a result, the male teacher didn't say any foul words for the entire morning, but he kept on with other useless nonsense. I continued to dissolve the evil that controlled him so that I could concentrate on my work. His cell phone then somehow got connected with his wife's by accident, and his wife heard what he said and called and yelled at him, causing him to stop.
I know that a practitioner's righteous thoughts are powerful. A practitioner's field around his workplace and home should be righteous. If not, it is either because of attachments, or the evil has found a loophole in the practitioner, due to his relaxing and being accommodating to the evil. As the Fa-rectification proceeds to this stage, practitioner should rectify all that is not righteous, and not leave any leeway for the evil.
I later told the teachers the facts about Dafa, and gave each of them a set of this year's Shen Yun DVD. I wanted them to know that the evil party was the source of all human miseries, to be able to tell right from wrong, and to choose a good future for themselves.
