[Minghui Net] As I watched the protracted, incomparably disgusting and hysterical drama performed by the evil forces, and witnessed the endless sorrows and indescribable miseries practitioners in China have endured every day, I was shaken and touched by my fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and conduct, and tears often stained my face. Consequently, I became anxious because I could not do more to suffocate the evil. After lingering in this state of mind for a long time, I realized that I was being driven by the evil forces and the inadequate righteousness of my thoughts. This restless mind and anxiety was a sign that I still had some confusion and misunderstanding about the solemnity and sacredness of Dafa [great law and principles].

With a mentality anxious to eliminate the evil forces and rescue my fellow practitioners in China as soon as possible, I, like many others, have done my very best to take part in truth-clarifying activities. In this process, Teacher has gradually led me to understand that my restless heart is the biggest obstacle preventing my well-cultivated side from rectifying the Fa. Actually, when we are effectively clarifying the truth and exposing the evil, we are alleviating the persecution of Dafa practitioners, while at the same time aligning ourselves with the Teacher's process of the Fa-Rectification and offering salvation to people. Thus, we also play a role in the elimination of evil.

When I take the time to study the Fa and read the Teacher's new scriptures and Fa-lectures, my heart, which is often driven by the evil, finally calms down. Every event has complex, deeply hidden reasons behind it, and pertains to the critical process of the Fa-Rectification that involves all "Numerous living beings throughout the firmament."[Hong Yin, Teacher's poem collection] How many of these living beings will produce righteous thoughts and be saved? How can the words of this world adequately describe the difficulties and hardships the Teacher has encountered and endured to fulfill his mission?

As a particle of Dafa, I realized my shortcomings as a Dafa practitioner. As a Dafa practitioner, I could not--from the point of view of Dafa-- rationally view the frightening confrontation between good and evil brought about by the Fa-Rectification of the universe. The Teacher has born the essential wickedness of all the evil forces. As living beings that have been given a glorious future by the Teacher's unconditional compassion, how could we ever feel that we have been given too much to bear? How could a true enlightened being, a particle of Dafa, and a guardian of the universe, feel agitated, angry, resentful, or anxious when facing any attempts to damage the "Truth-Compassion-Forbearance" of Dafa?

My restless heart has often triggered my hatred toward the evil forces. However, I have enlightened to the fact that this is precisely the purpose of all the evil forces' crazy antics: to prevent us from reaching that realm of mind that remains unaffected as we progress toward Consummation. If by these tactics they can obstruct the process of the Teacher's Fa-Rectification, the evil forces can take advantage of this loophole to prolong their pathetic lives.

Now, I think of the last few words given by the Teacher before the onslaught of the vicious trials that under all kinds of difficult circumstances, hold your heart firmly, and "Having your heart unaffected, you will be able to handle all situations."["Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)"] Now we have reached the moment of the Fa "Rectifying the Colossal Firmament." Have we met the standard of "having our hearts unaffected?"

I finally came to understand that, only through solid cultivation, can we let go of our attachments; only by genuinely giving up our attachments, can we enlighten to the principles of the Fa; only by enlightening to the principles of the Fa, can we reach the state of "having your hearts unaffected"; and only when our hearts remain undisturbed, can the evil ultimately be eliminated.

These are my personal understandings of the Fa. Please kindly correct me if there is anything that is inappropriate.
