Look at Problems from the Standpoint of a Cultivator

There is a fellow practitioner with no special "skill" who uses a computer just to read the news. For a while her computer repeatedly had problems. No one else in our area was available to help her, so she always asked me.

After helping her many times in the middle of all the other things I had to handle, I became impatient. I thought that her computer was only worth one or two hundred yuan, and I had to put in so much time on it. If I were paid by the hour, I would have earned enough to buy her a new computer. 'But when I offered to buy her a new one, she refused. The more impatient I became the slower the computer ran. First, the browser locked up. Next, the network card stopped working. The more anxious I got, the messier the situation became.

Finally, after a lot of work, I was able to solve her problems. On my way home, a cool breeze blew on my face and my head started to clear. From the perspective of everyday people' helping each other, or from the perspective of technical service, what I had done for her was indeed not really "worth it." But wasn't this a cultivation issue? 'Forgetting the aspects related to my own personal cultivation, didn't she surf the Internet in order to read the Minghui Website? Usually she had to work and seldom had the opportunity to study the teachings of Falun Gong and share experiences with fellow practitioners. Reading articles on the Minghui website was part of her cultivation and experience sharing. Why didn't her computer have problems if I examined it from a technical standpoint? Once she started surfing the Internet, why would she encounter such great obstacles? Wasn't the bottom line that the old forces were using the opportunity to cleverly persecute her? Suddenly I was struck by this thought--: Back when an enlightened being descended to the human world, a great God who is now a Dafa disciple said, "The human world is perilous and evil. If at a certain time my cultivation environment is interfered with, you must help me when you notice it. You must remember this."

While noticing it, not only did I not try my best to help her, but I also calculated monetary values and tried to stall as much as possible. That's indeed not the right thing to do. It's a pity that, without being aware of it, I constantly looked at problems from' today's society's deviated standpoint and values. If we are able to constantly look at problems from a cultivator's standpoint, we will indeed get different answers to many questions. Perhaps this is also part of righteous thoughts.
