PureInsight | October 22, 2001
I often read articles on the PureInsight website. Reading those articles has been very helpful in breaking bad notions and understanding Dafa. Therefore, I went to the Clearwisdom and PureInsight websites to collect articles whenever I needed to put together different kinds of truth-clarifying materials. I thought that those practitioners cultivated well and their articles were written very clearly. It never occurred to me that I should also write articles to expose the evil and clarify the truth.
At the beginning of this year, a practitioner asked me: “PureInsight website needs articles. Can you submit articles to the website?” Then I wrote several articles with the “trying” attitude. None of these articles were published. I gave up, thinking maybe these articles didn’t meet the standards. Several days later, another practitioner said to me: “We need to write down all the zhengjian (righteous views or true understandings) practitioners have gained from Dafa. Can you help collect practitioner’s thoughts? It can be just a few words.” I promised, but didn’t know where to begin. One day, I came across an article from a Mainland practitioner. In the article, he said that he and fellow practitioners formed a writing team to write down information regarding the evil persecution in Mainland and expose the evil. This article was shocking to me. I had to ponder the relationships between a Dafa cultivator and righteous views and the function of such articles in the Fa-rectification. I asked myself: “What are righteous views?” “Why does the PureInsight website needs articles from practitioners?” “Because only thoughts formed during cultivation by cultivators in the righteous Fa are righteous views.” “What cultivators saw from cultivation in the righteous Fa are righteous views.” I asked and answered myself. PureInsight needs articles. For a Dafa disciple, it should be easy to write down the process of identifying and eliminating deviations during cultivation. After this righteous thought came forth, I started writing down my experiences during the Fa-rectification and submitting articles to the PureInsight website.
At the beginning, I tossed away many half-finished articles after reading them again – they were full of ordinary people's thinking. I started checking every thought I had and every character I chose when writing articles. Which of those were from righteous thoughts and which were not? I had to be responsible for my articles. Every article is the manifestation of the realm of my thoughts. During the process of writing, I found my deep-rooted distorted concepts. I found that I did not fully understand Dafa. I found that I chose harsh words without much compassion. Sometimes this was really frustrating. Many attachments were exposed during writing. They should be eliminated once exposed. This is the process of cultivation. Sometimes I read my articles again and found that my understanding several days ago was really low-level and that it did not reveal the true situation. Every article came into existence during my process of firming righteous thoughts, eradicating my bad notions and eliminating external interferences. During the same process, I fully realized the importance of “rectifying myself.” Only when we break our distorted notions and improve our purity, can we really eradicate evil and complete our mission of Fa-rectification disciples.
Two or three weeks later, I read Master’s “Lecture at the Conference in Europe” (Frankfurt, Germany). One sentence caught my eyes: “It is the Fa that enables you to reach Consummation, and it is the Fa that has opened your Third Eye. You have to cultivate in the Fa in order to reach Consummation.” Sometimes I can see things through my Third Eye. In order to maintain an unmoved heart, I often tell myself: “My mind must be upright” and “My main consciousness should be strong.” I felt that this time Master was showing me that I should treat my Celestial Eye correctly. Soon, a practitioner asked me: “what did you see through your Celestial Eye when sending forth righteous thoughts?” I started thinking again. I read Master’s articles again. I was enlightened to the belief that there’s no fixed format of the Fa. If it’s for the needs of Dafa, I should tell about my process of eradicating the evil in other dimensions. For much of this is closely related to manifestations in the human world.
When I decided to write down what I saw from the process of eradicating the evil in other dimensions, the interference grew immense. In addition to the breakdowns of computers, missing and wrong characters in my articles, the interference in my mind was also huge. Sometimes my thinking suddenly paused. Many weird thoughts emerged in my mind. Sometimes interference from the ordinary human society also occurred. Moreover, evil in the other dimensions appeared in groups and threatened me not to write down the process. Under that kind of circumstance, I suddenly understood how pure gold was formed having firm righteous thoughts and using my will power. I had to finish writing the articles despite all of this interference.
During those days, evil forces madly interfered. At work, sometimes I felt a sudden hit to my head. Then groups of demons rushed towards me. I had to stop working, put my right hand vertically in front of my chest and silently recite: 'The Fa rectifies the cosmos, the Evil is completely eliminated.' Even at night, my main consciousness could feel that a type of evil dense granule substance was disturbing my mind, eating my righteous thoughts. Several nights in a row, I woke up in my dreams, jumped out of bed, put my hand vertically in front of my chest and silently recited: 'The Fa rectifies the cosmos, the Evil is completely eliminated.' Facing the evil old forces’ cruel persecution, my thoughts become purer and firmer after going through tribulations again and again.
Looking back, I find that the old forces did their so-called test on me. They created tribulations in all aspects of my work and life. They tried to stop me from writing articles to show their true colors in other dimensions. They wanted to weaken my righteous thoughts. I know that I am a Dafa particle. Dafa has created everything of mine. When the old forces persecute me, Dafa gave me the power to eradicate them. The time of eradicating them is the time of complete destruction of their body and soul. Let’s use the opportunity Master grants us, eradicate evil with divine power, and establish the mighty virtue of Dafa. All of the contents in this article were formed during the process of writing articles for PureInsight. Now I take another look at the word “zhengjian” and I find that this word has so many meanings. The implications are deep.
