(Minghui.org) I wrote this experience sharing article about recent experiences of reciting the Fa to share with other practitioners.
As I continued to recite the Fa, its principles were revealed layer upon layer. My xinxing continued to improve, and I gained a deeper understanding of the Fa. For example, I used to believe that what Master taught about molecules, atoms, and protons being different dimensional levels was difficult for me to understand. This time when I recited the Fa, and came to the following passage, I suddenly understood what Master said:
“...we know that material things are composed of molecules, atoms, and protons at their microscopic level, and you can trace it all the way down. If at each level you’re able to see the plane of that level instead of a single point—if you can see the plane of molecules’ level, the plane of atoms’ level, the plane of protons’ level, the plane of nuclei’s level—you’ll see the forms in which different dimensions exist.” (Lecture Two, Zhuan Falun)
Amazingly it turned out that Master’s teaching was truly clear and easy to understand. I seemed to have traveled through time and space with Master’s teaching and saw the existence at each of different dimensional levels. It broadened my understanding of the celestial bodies.
It turns out that the celestial bodies are so vast, and the living space of human beings is so tiny. In this tiny space, human beings are so tiny that they are even smaller than bacteria. Master’s broad Fa principles made me realize that people should be humble and polite, respect heaven and earth, and respect gods. I then gave up the arrogance and contempt regarding others along with many other deviant notions I developed under the long-term influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) indoctrination.
The same understanding occurred when I recited what Master said in “Why This World Is a Realm of Unknowing”:
“The greater universe is so vast that no divine beings, heavenly sovereigns, or lords above know what lies beyond.”
My mind suddenly opened, and I knew that I was a divine being from a high level. In order to obtain the Fa and be saved, I came to the human world in the Three Realms, suffering hardships and eliminating karma, and returning to my own heavenly world.
After enlightening to all this, I no longer limited my understanding of issues to the human level. I put aside human thoughts and human sentiments, and stepped out of the human level to look at issues from a higher level. I realized how deeply I was lost in the human world, fighting and struggling for petty gains, living a hard and tiring life, and yet I thought that was happiness.
In the past, when I encountered tribulations, I would treat them with human thoughts, and the demons would use my human thoughts to create tribulations for me, dragging me down and not letting me step out of the human level. If we want to eliminate human thoughts and walk out of tribulations, we must study the Fa more and improve our level. The demons then won’t be able to reach us, and we can easily cultivate away our human thoughts and attachments.
My husband came home drunk one night and complained that I didn’t cook well. I didn’t say anything. Then he started cursing, saying, “You didn’t even take the initiative to pay for the vehicle inspection (he paid for the inspection that afternoon), and the car insurance is coming up soon, and I have to pay for it.” I said, “I’ll pay it in the future. Don’t I usually fill the car with gas?” Hearing that, he cursed even more, slammed the table, and cursed my family. His voice was so loud that the neighbors upstairs and downstairs could hear it.
I felt wronged and was about to leave home, but then I thought, “I am a cultivator. If I leave, isn’t that a human way of avoiding conflicts? Isn’t the evil using my husband to create conflicts to help me get rid of my bad human things? I can’t be fooled by the evil.” I immediately looked inward, and I found my attachments to seeking profit, seeking fame, having sentimentality, and not wanting to be criticized. I sent out a thought from my heart, “Master, I don’t want these attachments.” I got money from my purse and gave it to my husband, saying, “Don’t be angry. Money is something outside of oneself. It’s not worth getting angry about. You spent 260 yuan today, I’ll give you 300 yuan for that and another 1,000 yuan for car insurance.” My husband’s arrogance immediately disappeared and he said, “No, no.” I was surprised to find that when I let go of my attachments to fame, profit, and sentimentality, I naturally achieved what Master said:
“You practitioners don’t even hit back when you’re attacked, or talk back when people insult you.” (Lecture Nine, Zhuan Falun)
The next morning, when I was sending forth righteous thoughts, a thought flashed through my mind: I should be as pure as a baby. I felt as if there was an incomparably pure baby on my left side. I realized that when I let go of human thoughts and human emotions, and walk out of the human world, I will be as pure as this newborn baby.
