(Minghui.org) A few days ago I met a practitioner who is in her late 60s and she shared with me the miracles she experienced after she began strictly following the essentials of sending forth righteous thoughts. She asked me to write down her story in order to share it with everyone. She hopes that her experiences will be helpful to those who are still going through similar tribulations.
Though she obtained the Fa very early, for the past few years she had been plagued by a sleep demon and there seemed no way out of it. Whatever she did, be it studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts or meditation, everything made her sleepy and she dozed off.
One day, she came across a Minghui editorial and she suddenly realized what her problem was. When she read the article titled: The Essentials to Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts and the Schedule for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts at Set Times Around the World , she felt that her drowsy state was probably because she did not exactly recite Fa-rectification verses correctly and added too many specific targets to be eliminated. Consequently, she didn’t see results when sending righteous thoughts, plus her cultivation state was not very good either.
She decided to do better when doing the three things required by Master, especially sending forth righteous thoughts. The next morning she started to send forth righteous thoughts at the top of every hour and kept studying the Fa in between. She didn’t feel sleepy at all the whole day. Instead, her memory was getting better and the power of her righteous thoughts was getting stronger and stronger.
What happened next was even more amazing and made her realize how important it is to follow Master’s requirements, which is to study the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts and thus save sentient beings.
A few fellow practitioners who had failed to step forward to do Fa-validation projects in the past, suddenly visited her after she had adjusted her cultivation state. They wanted to study the Fa and share experiences with her. Little by little, these practitioners noticed improvements in themselves.
Her positive change also encouraged her daughter, who became more diligent in cultivation and began doing exceptionally well in clarifying the facts to people over the telephone.
The miracles which happened to her fellow practitioners further inspired her to do even better. Since then, she made sure to send forth righteous thoughts as much as she could every day and in no time she completely got rid of the sleep demon.
Master has given us the best of this universe, but we have to follow Master’s teachings so as to be worthy of Master’s compassionate salvation. We must assimilate to the Fa and cultivate ourselves solidly.
I feel Master was giving me a hint by letting this elderly practitioner share her story with me, because I had not been doing very well recently, had slacked off in sending forth righteous thoughts and my cultivation state was not good. I realized that I must also pay attention to the quality of sending forth righteous thoughts.
