[PureInsight.org] In daily
life, whenever my husband and I had a dispute, I always thought that
since I was a Dafa practitioner I would not argue with him.
However, I did not actually put it down from the bottom of my
heart. I showed unhappiness on my face. Sometimes, my
daughter would help me argue against my husband. I felt happy
when I heard her saying what seemed right to me.
One day, a dispute between us happened again. That night, I had a
clear dream. In the dream, my daughter and I were walking on a
bridge. Accidentally, the camera in my hands, as well as the
watch and ring I wore, fell off the bridge into the mud of the
river. We immediately went down from the bridge to look for
them. My daughter used a stick to search for them in the
mud. At this moment, a child, who was playing besides the river
found the camera. He was playing with the camera in his
hands. I shouted to him, "That's mine. Please return it to
me." The child replied, "It's yours. Return to you," while
he was throwing the camera to me. I reached out my hands to catch
it. But what arrived in my hands was a sticky and muddy
fish. I relaxed my hold immediately and awakened from the
dream. I realized that the fish in my hands was an attachment of
mine, which I had regarded as a precious thing. When I lost the
precious thing and had tried to find it again, I found that what I
regained was a disgusting and dirty thing.
I was calmly thinking about what had happened in the dream. Three
possessions were lost together by coincidence and all of them dropped
into mud. They were merely worldly possessions that I must get
rid of. It would have been a great thing if I had had left there
in a natural and unrestrained manner, instead of searching for them in
the mud under the bridge. I hope that, in the future, I will get
rid of any attachments with an easy grace when I face a test requiring
cultivation of nature and mind.
Later, I told my daughter about the dream. I asked her whether
she understood the meaning behind it. She replied, "Your dream is
cool. I will not help you hold on to your attachments any
more. Henceforth, if I see you showing unhappiness, I'll say,
'Hey, it's time for you, a practitioner, to remove your attachment.'"
I sincerely thank Master for directing me to remove my attachments.
