(Minghui.org) Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents have frequently harassed Falun Dafa practitioners in my region recently. Through studying the Falun Dafa teachings, I realized the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate vicious elements behind the agents.
Officers have shown up at my place to harass me on several occasions. With hints from Master, I always knew they were coming each time, so I sent forth righteous thoughts for a long time in advance. As a result, the police became less fierce or did not enter my home at all.
In addition to sending forth righteous thoughts, I also felt I needed to improve in some other aspects, though I wasn’t exactly clear on what that was. I then got multiple hints from Master and enlightened to the fact that I needed to rectify my thoughts. I sensed that it’s about the thoughts on the relationship between police officers and practitioners. As I kept sending forth righteous thoughts, one day I suddenly came to a new understanding.
Elevation After Change in One Thought
I’ve been reminding myself that the purpose of our sending forth righteous thoughts and eliminating the evil is to save sentient beings. As such, I communicate with sentient beings in my mind before sending forth righteous thoughts. I remind them of Master’s teachings and ask them to not interfere with Dafa disciples, as I only follow Master’s arrangements.
Master said,
“I’m saying that I don't acknowledge the old forces' interfering with Dafa disciples, because the Dafa disciples are my disciples, and nobody else is worthy of handling them.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Students”, Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. VI)
Based on this, I came to a better understanding of the situation. After all, we are here to help Master save sentient beings and sending forth righteous thoughts is part of our mission. Therefore, I tell sentient beings from all levels what Master said in the above Fa-teachings about “nobody else is worthy of handling them.”
Master also said,
“All beings in the cosmos are repositioning themselves. Humans aren’t worthy of testing this Fa, and neither are Gods. Whoever touches it commits a sin. They’ve seen all of this as well.” (Teaching the Fa at the Great Lakes Fa Conference in North America”, Guiding the Voyage)
When sending forth righteous thoughts, I also tell all sentient beings in my mind to be clear about what Master said about “Whoever touches it commits a sin” in the above Fa-teaching. This way they’d know not to commit sins against Dafa or Dafa disciples and they would have a better future.
I’d repeat “nobody else is worthy of handling them” and “Whoever touches it commits a sin” a few times and urge sentient beings to remember “Falun Dafa is good and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Then I tell them if they are insistent on undermining Dafa, they’d be eliminated in my sending forth righteous thoughts.
One time after saying “nobody else is worthy of handling them,” I had a thought to target the police station in charge of my area in the subsequent sending forth righteous thoughts. Then it suddenly dawned on me that the police station is not worthy of handling me and it is not in charge of me.
With that new understanding of the relationship between police and practitioners, I felt my body becoming light, as if many constraints in other dimensions had been lifted. Before sending forth righteous thoughts that day, I had been feeling a bit tired and I joined sending forth righteous thoughts simply because it was time to do so. Now, I felt much more relaxed, as if I could fly in the sky. Agents from the 610 Office and the police have no control over me because this everyday society is just like a temporary shelter for me to cultivate myself. With such understandings, I found myself surrounded by energy during sending forth righteous thoughts.
I thought more after this particular experience of sending forth righteous thoughts. I realized that very often we are not clear on the relationship between police and practitioners, which allows the old forces to interfere with us in many aspects. For example, two practitioners may chat with each other like this:
One practitioner: Such and such a police station is in charge of my area. How about you?Another practitioner: There is a police station near me. But it is not worthy of being in charge of me.
The two different mindsets show the difference between humans and gods. The second practitioner’s understanding is a huge leap from the first practitioner’s thinking. Dafa disciples do not fall under the jurisdiction of any police station. Rather, only Master and Dafa can make arrangements for us. In addition, even if police do not harass us, we should still send forth righteous thoughts more often to eliminate vicious comments behind those officers. Without that, these elements could manipulate police officers to do bad deeds, harming people and leading to serious consequences for the officers themselves. Therefore, we cannot let it happen.
The Power of Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
One time I recited “nobody else is worthy of handling them” and “Whoever touches it commits a sin” dozens of times before sending forth righteous thoughts. The results were very good. It was as if these sentences had flown to places such as police stations and detention centers, and a large number of vicious elements were destroyed.
I believe that Master allowed me to see evil elements being destroyed in other dimensions because lately I had been thinking that sending forth righteous thoughts was to validate the power of the Fa, not my own supernormal abilities.
Master also said,
“People involved in theoretical debates have always been disputing about which is first, matter or mind; they have always been having ideological arguments. I’ll tell you all that matter and mind are one and the same. Gong is the Law, and the Law is gong, for mind itself is matter.” (Teachings at the Conference in Houston)
Now I have a better understanding of these words, as well as the effect of sending forth righteous thoughts.
The above are my limited understandings. Please let me know if there is anything inappropriate.
