Cultivation Diary: We Are One Body, Not Individuals

[PureInsight.org] The daily lists of practitioners who are being persecuted in China are usually long. Recently, the name lists are so long that I am shocked. We are all doing our best to rescue fellow practitioners and save sentient beings. Today, I have been asking myself, how can we form one body that has no barriers, one body that is indestructible?

I remember a long time ago when we first began sending forth righteous thoughts, I could not sense that others practitioners were sending forth righteous thoughts simultaneously in addition to me. Later, I saw a picture on the Internet in which many practitioners were sending forth righteous thoughts together. I then realized that I am not alone when sending righteous thoughts, since practitioners throughout the world are sending righteous thoughts together with me everyday. After that, I started to have some understandings about our one body.

Many times, when we are unable to see clearly the influence of Communist Party Culture upon us and unable to correct our ways of thinking, the barriers among practitioners can create some problems for us. As a result, we are not able to fully trust each other with an open mind.

Today, I have also come to understand that under the influence of Party Culture, I always see others' shortcomings first instead of their strengths. As a result, I am unable to be tolerant and compassionate towards fellow practitioners. Today, I have begun to understand that if I do not do well on my part, we cannot form one body. I need to start doing well myself.

Sometimes, because of their attachment of fear, some practitioners are unable to participate in certain projects. There might be some rumors spreading among practitioners regarding a certain practitioner or practitioners may say something bad about certain practitioners. Now, I realize that all these happenings are related to my cultivation, and I have to improve on these aspects. When seeing this, the first thing I should do is to look within so that I can find what attachments I have and begin to let go of them. In this way, we can form one body and work together to save sentient beings.

Today, I told myself to do well from now on. We need to let go of attachments and eliminate all barriers that separate practitioners. This is because right now it is not enough if we just do well as individuals. In order to rescue detained practitioners more quickly and to save sentient beings on a large scale, we have to form one body without barriers. All of us are Dafa particles, and we have to join in the immense force of Fa-rectification and do well.
