“Sending forth righteous thoughts” is a special cultivation practice for Dafa disciples during the Fa-rectification period. In this kind of cultivation practice, sometimes I performed well, but sometimes I was not able to concentrate on doing it. When I asked myself if I had placed great emphasis on sending forth righteous thoughts, I found that I did not truly understand the meaning of “great emphasis” from the depth of my being. I then asked myself “why do I send forth righteous thoughts” and “why must all the evils that jeopardize Dafa be eliminated?” I also asked myself another question, “Do I wholeheartedly and unhesitatingly want to eradicate all the evils that jeopardize Dafa?” I answered myself without hesitation, “Yes.” When I asked myself again, “Why do I lose my concentration now that I have such great resolution?” This time, I was not able to answer. In my mind emerged, “How could the evil run rampant any longer? Every single being's volition is fully revealed ……” (“Rectifying the Colossal Firmament”). I realized that in my innermost being my determination “to eliminate all the evils that damage Dafa” had not been resolute enough.
Sometimes I found that some attachments and notions, which I was hardly aware of in normal situations, came out when “sending forth righteous thoughts.” They hindered me in eliminating the evil factors that damage Dafa. I felt it is extremely dangerous to add anything human on the path of cultivation practice. When I calmed down to study the Fa again, I found that my body was expanding layer by layer. All the matter that did not belong to the Fa melted. Everything was resolved.
This is a little bit of what I have learned and my personal experience.
