Cooperation Among Fellow Practitioners
On my drive home today, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind. What is
cooperating and integrating everyone's efforts to satisfaction among
cultivators?
It's like if you're cooking dishes at home, and soy sauce should have
been added, but vinegar was added instead by a mistake. Now what do you
do? Do you keep complaining and blaming others, or do you feel
helpless, "Aha, I knew that..."? Or do you keep silent and do not know
what to do? The correct way to handle the situation is "moving
according to the mechanism." You can add some sugar and pepper to make
it a hot and sour dish, which is delicious as well.
My understanding is that this is what Master has taught us about cooperation and working together to perfection.
Compassion
Recently, I read fellow practitioner's experience sharing articles and
compassion was mentioned several times. I agreed with everyone's
understandings very much. Compassion is not only about the soft tone or
the polite manner in which you speak. It is not a matter of tone at
all. Compassion is related to your heart. No matter what you say or do,
your kind heart is purely for others. When you see an everyday person,
you just want him to be saved. When you regard a fellow practitioner,
you purely want him to elevate his cultivation level. Then, when you
talk or do things, you will be full of compassion. You don't have to
show your compassion intentionally and by thinking, "I want to be
compassionate."
You cannot do it if your cultivation state is not there yet, since it is related to one's cultivation level.
