[PureInsight.org] Today, after distributing Falun Dafa truth-clarification materials at a tourist spot, we went to the park for a break.
This is the area where we normally study the Fa, share our understandings, and send forth righteous thoughts, and it is usually very quiet there. However, within a moment of our arrival, a motorcycle suddenly pulled in playing loud music. I thought, “We’re doing important things here. Let the motorcycle please go away!” Other practitioners also started sending forth righteous thoughts.
After sending righteous thoughts, we listened to the articles from the Fifth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China. More than ten minutes passed, yet the loud music continued. I believed that there must be a reason for this, so I suggested making it our topic of discussion for the day.
I first shared my own understandings, as follows. When we come across trouble or interference, deep down we might think that the fewer troubles or interferences on our path of cultivation practice, the better. Therefore, we may attempt to expel and eliminate them with various human thoughts, while failing to look inside to see if we have any human notions or human thoughts. In addition, when our righteous thoughts fail to bring about tangible changes, do we then develop thoughts of doubt? This is a test of our faith in Master and Dafa.
Practitioner A shared that perhaps we are required to strengthen our ability of concentration in a noisy environment, so that we will not be affected by external factors. This way, we are able to conform to any kind of environment, instead of requiring the environment to conform to us.
Practitioner B added that since higher beings work to keep the Fa stable at the human level, practitioners should therefore conform to the human society so as not to damage the Fa at the human level. We use the form of everyday people’s society to cultivate ourselves and to do the three things, including to set a good example for the future.
We all found it very beneficial to share our understandings honestly with each other. We then continued to study the Fa. Within a moment, a practitioner stated, “See, the music is gone.” Indeed, the motorcycle disappeared and the loud music was gone. We all smiled at each other and understood that it was Dafa’s mighty power that solved the problem. When a human being wants to do something, he has to use his hands and feet, but when a god or Buddha wants to do something, all he needs is a thought.
We came to understand that when our understanding of the Fa becomes clear, many obstacles will be removed.
