Letting Go of Human Attachments

July 3, 2015 |   By a Dafa practitioner from Shaanxi Province, China

(Minghui.org) It has been 20 years since I began to practice Falun Dafa. It took a while before I realized that I was cultivating the universal law.

My wife and I set up a group practice site at our home. We practiced the Dafa exercises in the morning and studied the Falun Dafa books at night. Besides our site, more practice sites were established at nearby villages and many people started to learn this spiritual practice.

Having Strong Faith Brings Benefits

My sister fell from a cliff, which was about six meters high, after practicing Dafa for six months. She was carried back home because she was unable to move.

Her children cried, were in fear and I was also scared. We asked her if she wanted to go to a hospital. She replied no because she practiced Falun Dafa. I suddenly realized that she was right, because we are practicing Falun Dafa and the founder of this spiritual practice, whom practitioners call Master Li, can protect us if we have righteous thoughts.

A practitioner and I took turns reading Zhuan Falun, the main book of this spiritual practice, to her. She could do the exercises after two days and soon recovered. This incidence created quite a stir in our village and many people began to practice Falun Dafa.

Cultivation Is Serious

A relative, who is also a practitioner, had a difficult life. I was always there whenever he experienced a tribulation, and he respected me for it. We were able to let go of many human attachments, coordinated well on Dafa projects and improved our xinxing.

However, because of an ordinary people's matter, he was mad at me. He embarrassed me and hurt my feelings. I decided not to see him anymore.

I was passive and resentful when doing Dafa things with him. I could not understand why he treated me so bad. This bothered me for almost half a year.

After studying the Falun Dafa books, I realized that Master used this incident to dig out my attachments, such as ambition, avoiding embarrassment and resentment.

Because of this incidence, I understand that cultivation is very serious, and we have to let go of human attachments in order to be a qualified Falun Dafa practitioner.
