(Minghui.org) My son bought us a spacious house and urged us to move there soon. I had been there briefly before. It seems that the people living in the neighborhood are mostly government officials.
Passing by the center of the community on our move-in day, I suddenly saw four giant portraits of “Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao,” welded on the metal frame. At night with the street light, these portraits gave off a sense of eerie terror.
Knowing that these only existed to harm people, I wondered, “What should I do to remove those portraits?”
Master’s Fa teachings suddenly appeared in my mind:
“Since you're Dafa disciples, you shouldn't put your hopes in so-called "natural" changes, external changes, changes in the ordinary society, or in some favors that someone might do for us. You are Gods, and you are the future rulers of different cosmoses, so who would you count on? All the beings are counting on you!” (“Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. II)
“The fact is, at this time Dafa disciples have to do divine things, because for Dafa disciples their personal cultivation is no longer first and foremost. Saving sentient beings and reconstructing the colossal firmament during the Fa-rectification are the purpose.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. International Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume VII)
I sat down to send forth powerful righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil factors behind the portraits. I also asked for Master’s help to strengthen me. I believed that positive thoughts would work in this and other dimensions.
I kept sending righteous thoughts towards the portraits every day for one hour. After 15 days, I had a vivid dream: three thugs tried to attack me, and they cornered me. I shouted in my dream: “Master, help!” Then I woke up!
I think the dream was an indicator that the evil spirits were shaken by my righteous thoughts and couldn’t stand it anymore, so they tried to scare me. Who is afraid of them? I sent forth righteous thoughts: uprooting the evil spirits and completely eliminating them!
Two days later, the portraits, which had been there for ten years, were removed!
Next, I began to send righteous thoughts every day to remove the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) symbols, red lanterns and evil factors around my neighborhood that interfered with the salvation of the beings living here. Within a few days, large white lotus-like street lamps were shining and replaced all the red lanterns and the CCP symbols!
Master taught us:
“Were every Dafa disciple able to achieve this, the entire world would change, since each of you assumes responsibility for a large expanse in this world and represents a certain segment of sentient beings. I often tell you to cultivate inward and to search within yourselves when problems arise. When you clear yourselves at the time of sending righteous thoughts, that is meant to purify and rectify your thinking as well as clean up what is your own share, the domain that you are responsible for.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the Epoch Times Meeting,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. X)
I understand that the best environment that Master arranged for me to cultivate and validate Dafa is not limited to a specific place, or a specific idea that I have, but it’s in everything I do to validate the Fa and save sentient beings.
This is my understanding at my level, and please kindly point out shortcomings.
