(Clearwisdom.net) The following are two situations with different outcomes regarding sending forth righteous thoughts that we have experienced. I hope fellow practitioners can enlighten from them.
1. A practitioner attended a meeting with former classmates in a restaurant one day. He took this opportunity to distribute discs of the Shen Yun show to everyone. After the meeting, two classmates accidentally left the discs behind on the table. Restaurant personnel submitted the discs to the local 610 Office. Soon, officials from the 610 Office collected all the discs and found this practitioner.
This practitioner and fellow practitioners around him directly sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind the officials from the 610 Office. Everyone coordinated with each other well and sent forth strong righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. Soon the official who coordinated finding the Shen Yun discs was told to see his director. The director told the official that this practitioner was a good person and the disc was good too. Then that official was transferred to another unit, and another two officials were assigned to deal with the situation. Fellow practitioners then sent forth righteous thoughts to these two people to eliminate all evil factors behind them. As a result, the entire matter was shelved, and nothing happened to the practitioner. We all experienced the power of sending forth righteous thoughts.
2. This happened to a practitioner couple. One of them was suddenly arrested by officials from the local 610 Office, and their home was ransacked. The arrested one was released back home after 24 hours. After this incident, one of the couple studied the Fa more and looked within; while the other one couldn't calm down enough to study the Fa. One week later, the practitioner who couldn't calm down was illegally arrested and held in a detention center.
Then all the practitioners living in the area together sent forth righteous thoughts for him, helping him break out of the detention center with righteous thoughts. However, the practitioner didn't come out. Worse still, he was transferred to a brainwashing center.
Why did the situation become worse? After looking within, we found that our minds were not steady while sending forth righteous thoughts, and that when we sent forth righteous thoughts, we actually thought in our minds that "If that practitioner's righteous thoughts were not strong enough, our righteous thoughts couldn't take effect." Of course, having this mindset while sending righteous weakened the power of our righteous thoughts, allowing the evil forces to take advantage of our loopholes.
By comparing these two situations and their respective outcomes, we may better understand what Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts are and the power of disciples' righteous thoughts.
