her husband were crossing the road on their way to the auditorium to attend my lecture when a car
running fast passed by them. The old woman was caught by the wing mirror of the car. She was
pushed along more than 10 meters before being thrown onto the ground. The car did not stop until it
had gone more than 20 meters. The driver got out of the car and was cross with the lady: "Why
weren't you walking carefully?" Nowadays many people tend to shirk responsibility when they meet
with problems no matter whose fault it is.
The people in the car asked the woman how she felt and if she needed to go to the hospital. At
76
this, the driver changed his manner. He asked the woman if she was all right, and offered to take her
to the hospital. The woman, who was a practitioner, rose from the ground and said, "There's nothing
wrong with me, you may go". Then she whisked away the dust on her and left with her husband.
When they came to attend my lecture and told me what had happened, I felt happy because our
students' Xinxing had indeed improved. The woman told me that she would have dealt with the
occurrence differently if she had not learnt Falun Dafa. Let us think about the event. The woman
was in her 50's. The car pushed her along so far and threw her heavily into the street. Besides, she
had retired enjoying no benefits. If such a thing had happened to an ordinary person, she might have
said that she was seriously injured, and she might not have got up. If she had been sent to the
hospital, she might have caught this opportunity and stayed there as long as she liked. But as a
cultivator, the old lady didn't behave that way. We believe that one mindfulness of a person
determines the consequence of an affair. Is it possible that an ordinary person at the age of 50 would
not get hurt at all in such a situation? But the old lady did not even scratch her skin! This is because
she was right minded at that moment. If she had said, "Oh, I feel terrible. Something is wrong with
this part or that part of my body...", then she might have really broken her bones or got paralysed.
She might have had to spend the rest of her life in the hospital. In that case, would she feel better by
being paid a lot of money? The people watching the accident wondered why the old woman did not
take advantage of the mishap to squeeze some money from the driver. We know that moral
standards have been distorted today. The driver was wrong for speeding. But did he knock the
woman down intentionally? Certainly not. However, even the bystanders think it unfair that she did
not ask the driver for money as compensation. Many people do not know what is right and what is
wrong. If you tell someone that he is doing bad, he will not believe you. Because changes have
taken place in the moral standard of mankind. Some people put profit-making first. There is nothing
that they dare not do for the sake of money. And it has even been taken as the motto by some people
that "Heaven destroys those who do not look out for themselves."
One practitioner in Beijing once took his child for a stroll at Qianmen after supper. They saw
many people buying lottery tickets at a broadcasting van. The child wanted to join in the fun, so the
father bought a one-yuan ticket for him. Luckily they won the second prize: a high-quality bicycle
especially made for children. The child felt overjoyed. But it suddenly occurred to the father that a
practitioner should not pursue this kind of thing. How much De would it cost him to accept a prize
which he was not entitled to? With this idea, he said to the child, "Don't take the bike, I will buy you
one if you want". The child became unhappy, "You didn't agree to buy one for me before; now that
I've got one free and you won't even let me take it!" The child began to cry; the father had to take
the bicycle home. At home, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt about
himself. He thought about sending money to the lottery people. Then he thought that the lottery
tickets were gone, and figured they would divide the money among themselves if he sent it to them.
Finally, he decided to donate the money to his work unit.
The father is lucky that many of his colleagues are practitioners of our Falun Dafa, too. They can
understand him, so can his boss. If such a thing occurred in an ordinary environment, an ordinary
work unit, where you say you do not want the lottery bike and donate the money to your work unit
because you are a practitioner, your boss would think that there is something wrong with your mind.
Others would talk behind your back: "Has this person gone wrong with his practice of qigong, and
gone mad because he is too obsessed with it?" I have told you that the moral standard of the people
has been distorted. In 1950's and 1960's, what was such a behaviour? It was quite common and
nobody would have felt strange.
We believe that no matter what changes have occurred in human moral standard, the cosmic
qualities - Zhen Shan Ren will never change. If someone says that you are good, you are not
77
necessarily really good. If someone says that you are bad, you are not necessarily really bad because
the measuring criterion for good and bad has been distorted. Only by conforming to the cosmic
qualities can one be a good person. That is the sole measuring criterion for good and bad, which is
recognized by the universe. Although a great change has taken place in human society, human
moral standard has declined, the moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day, and
profits making has become the only motivation, the universe does not change with the changes in [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
