Purge Atheism from our Subconscious Minds to Truly Respect our Master and the Fa

April 2, 2012 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Mainland China

(Minghui.org) My parents moved out of town in order to take care of my brother's child. They had not had the chance to meet local practitioners, so I intended to email them the poems in Hong Yin III one by one after it was published earlier this year. I did not email the poems according to the original order, but sent first those that I felt would help them most, such as “Don't Argue” and “Who's Right, Who's Wrong” because they frequently argued with each other. I also deleted some of the poems, such as those disclosing the evilness of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that I thought they knew well, so they could read them later.

While I was sending the email, my seven-year-old daughter by my side suddenly asked, “Mom, what are you doing?” I told her, “I am sending poems from Hong Yin III to Grandma and Grandpa.” She then asked, “Have you sent all of them?” I was stunned. “No, I omitted some of them.” She said solemnly, “You cannot do it like that.” I realized that it might be Master reminding me through her, so I said, “Alright, I will send them correctly now.” She added, “And in the right order!”

Actually, she did not know that I had not sent the poems in their original order. It must have been Master giving me a hint through her mouth. Not until then did I realize that I was modifying Master's teachings subconsciously according to my personal perceptions! I used to think that I was firm in respecting Master and upholding His teachings, but I almost disrupted Master's teachings subconsciously. Why did I do that?

Upon reflection, I found that these notions were rooted in the atheism cultivated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Although I am not an atheist, I have not paid due respect to the supreme Fa. Many traditional stories reveal how people in ancient times displayed deep respect when they talked about the Buddha Fa. They dared not even touch the Buddhist sutras, but contemporary people are very casual when they talk about divine beings. Atheism also makes people put more emphasis on how they feel in this physical world. When I decided that one poem was more important than the others for my parents, was I not making a judgment based on my worldly concepts? How can a person in this world fully perceive the immense power of the Buddha Fa in another world?

This is a lesson that I would like to share with my fellow practitioners. Thank you.
