A Few Words on Seeking Inward

Whenever a Dafa practitioner faces a conflict with others, or encounters an obstacle in doing truth-clarification work, he should always start with seeking inward. When Dafa practitioners in an entire region encounter an obstacle in their truth-clarification work, each and every practitioner in the region must seek inward in order to overcome the obstacle together as one. I believe that many fellow practitioners can relate to the following experience: When Dafa practitioners in an entire region keep advancing on the cultivation path together as one, everyone is able to understand and tolerate one another with genuine compassion, to truly place the Fa [Law and principles of Falun Gong] before himself, and to cooperate with one another in Dafa work, thus eliminating all conflicts and obstacles that might exist in doing Fa-spreading and truth-clarification work.

Since we are determined to cultivate in Dafa, we should act like genuine cultivators in everything we do. The process of accomplishing Dafa work is essentially a process of cultivation because it is our mentalities and thoughts that determine the outcome of our efforts. In other words, when we pass the standards of cultivation, according to our individual levels, all obstacles and challenges will cease to exist, thus making the process flow smoothly. It is just like what Teacher said, “cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while transforming gong is done by one’s master.” (From “The Issue of the Celestial Eye” in Lecture Two of Zhuan Falun)
