Don't Belittle the Bits and Pieces of Enlightenment Attained from the Fa

A Dafa Disciple from Penghu, T

PureInsight | December 17, 2001

For a while now, I have written down my cultivation experiences and submitted them to Dafa web sites to share with fellow practitioners. I appreciate the hard work and effort made by the practitioners who maintain these web sites. People around the world are thus able to connect to the Internet at their convenience to share fellow practitioners' journeys of steadfast cultivation and the course of how they have eliminated their attachments, recognized the essence of evilness, and clarified the truth to others.

Sometimes, after finishing writing an article, I could not avoid thinking that many articles of Dafa disciples are written with a pure heart and righteous mind. They move people to praise and tears, and they have especially touched my heart and brought me to tears. While my articles are fortunate enough to enter the sacred halls of Dafa and are not looked down on or discarded, they are usually only a recount of my enlightenment over every event that I recorded when it happened. Most of the time, they were written without hindrance and were completed in one breath. I thought maybe it's because this kind of articles were written in plain words and without intentional embellishment, so they were easy to compose. And that's why I seldom experience difficulties or interference in writing articles, as other practitioners have.

It was not until an episode occurred, during the "2001 Asia-Pacific Experience-Sharing Conference" held in Australia this year, that I realized that my articles, written under enlightenment of the Fa, carry energy. It was clearly brought home to me that, although plain and simple, my articles do not deviate from the Fa. Therefore, they are able to touch people's hearts and achieve the effect of promoting the Fa.

I have a habit of sending my articles to several other practitioner friends. Just before going to Australia, I wrote two more articles. There was no time to mail them out, so I took them to the airplane for those practitioners to read. While a practitioner was reading one essay on the plane, a lady sitting next to her asked her what she was reading out of curiosity, and whether she could take a look. The practitioner friend gave her consent. After that lady finished reading, she immediately inquired if there was any Dafa literature to study, and asked how she could join in the practice of this Dafa. She expressed great interest in it. The practitioner told me about this after we got off the plane. Of course I was delighted. I was delighted that our benevolent Master had again offered salvation to a person with a predestined relationship to Dafa. I saw clearly the omnipresent mighty virtue of the Fa, which made me firmly follow "Assisting Teacher in his journey in this world" (Hongyin, "Assisting the Fa").

As to those two articles, one is about my little daughter, who corresponded with her teacher when she had just started as a freshman in high school, and how that resulted in her promoting Dafa. The other told the story of the oldest daughter of a fellow practitioner, a freshman in college, who gave up the welcome party to participate in the S.O.S. walk, and how she could eliminate the attachment to leisure at such a young age. There was no long big talk. They only reflected how the Fa has brought people benefits to their daily life. Yet, the articles still had the effect of positively promoting Dafa.

When I started writing the articles, I intended to take a lead to let fellow practitioners know that if my articles are posted for Dafa disciples to see world wide, then we know that to write down our cultivation experiences and enlightenment with a righteous mind, truthfulness, and without artifice is not hard at all. What's more, if there is even one sentence in an article that may benefit others, then it's worth writing.

I use this example to encourage those practitioners who want to write articles, but have an attachment to fear or still feel being interfered with so much that they could not write down their pure insight. Please do not belittle the bits and pieces of enlightenment you have attained from the Fa. Record them selflessly. This is also a process of self-elevation.

These are just some of my insights. Fellow practitioners, please point out and correct any errors I may have made.
