[PureInsight.org] During a Fa-study meeting, a fellow practitioner shared her experience of being unable to join other practitioners in the "Ten Thousand Men Suing Jiang" rally on Kaitegalan Boulevard in the city of Taipei. Instead, the only thing she could do was to stay at home and send forth righteous thoughts every hour to support the practitioners who were at the rally. Her husband, who wanted to make it up to her, bought her gifts and asked if she was happy. She told her husband that if he had agreed to let her join the rally, it would have been one of her happiest moments. As she said that she wept. Her steadfastness in Dafa and her forgiveness of an everyday person moved me.
Everyone has his own destiny. All practitioners walk different paths. We might stumble during the journey and we act at the level that we have reached, but we also must realize that pursuing a nice lifestyle and comfort may be detrimental to a practitioner's determination.
It's certainly a precious thing when practitioners can understand the true meaning of all the Dafa activities and to fulfill their responsibilities for Dafa by attending and supporting these activities in person. But for those practitioners who aren't able to attend a certain Dafa activity in person, as long as they have genuine understanding of the Fa, understand and appreciate the significance of the Dafa event, their pure hearts are just as shining. Dafa practitioners are one complete body. When all practitioners come to understand something and join forces, the manifestations of this in other dimensions must be an incredible sight. I realized that even though more than ten thousand practitioners participated in the rally, there must be countless beings in other dimensions that joined us at the rally.
