The Power of Looking Within and Sending Righteous Thoughts

Feb. 12, 2026 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Minghui.org) After Fenghui’s illness symptoms persisted for four months three of us practitioners decided to visit her. She said she was unable to eat or sleep and her chest hurt. We discussed the situation and decided to send forth righteous thoughts.

Together, we sent this powerful thought: “Eliminate the negative substances in other dimensions that are persecuting Fenghui; eradicate all the evil Chinese Communist Party elements and overlook nothing!”

Through my third eye I saw the following scene: a rectangular sieve composed of coarse mesh, that swayed as it sifted. A square sieve with fine mesh appeared, and it was also sifting. Then a man’s face briefly appeared before it vanished.

After sending forth righteous thoughts we discussed what I saw. We realized the gravity of the situation. We felt the sieves I saw stood for the process of cultivation and enlightening.

Why did I see the man’s face? We looked inward. Could it be lust or desire? We discussed this with Fenghui. After thinking it over, she dismissed this. She lived alone and had almost no contact with men, she had no such thoughts. Then what could it be?

When we mentioned this to the local coordinator, she said, “Study the Fa (teachings) diligently, look inward, overcome this challenge, and elevate ourselves. Above all, we must not be sifted out.” So, we studied the Fa and exchanged insights with Fenghui.

Fenghui asked me what the man looked like—what were his distinguishing features? When I described his appearance she said the image bore a striking resemblance to her ex-husband. This led her to confront her deep-seated resentment for him.

Fenghui said when her son got married several months ago, during the ceremony, her ex-husband’s family wouldn’t let her perform the ritual. Instead, they had the ex-husband’s current wife do it. She felt deeply hurt, thinking: After all these years of raising my son, they won’t let her perform this ritual? It’s so unfair. Then she thought: I’m a practitioner, if they won’t let me do it, so be it. As long as the bride’s family recognizes me as the mother-in-law, it’s enough. She calmed down.

After the wedding she asked her ex-husband, “Who decided that I wouldn’t play my role during the ceremony?” When he admitted it was his decision, she flew into a rage, thinking, “He hasn’t changed a bit after all these years. If I didn’t practice Falun Dafa I’d cause trouble and destroy him.”

When she later looked inward she wept bitterly and thought, “Although I didn’t actually destroy him, that thought became a material substance—how terrifying that thought was! It was composed of resentment, vengeance, combativeness, showing off, and the desire to compete for superiority. Master, these are not my true self, they are acquired notions. I reject them, I do not acknowledge them. I will cultivate them away and return to my true self.”

Although Fenghui still coughed a little, she slept soundly that night. She looked inward further and realized she still harbored resentment toward her ex-husband. She wanted to eliminate that immediately, “It is not me, I reject my resentment.” She stopped coughing.

Several days later, Fenghui came to our Fa study group and told us that her sickness karma was gone and that she completely recovered. We all put our hands together in heshi (a gesture of respect) and thanked Master for his compassion.
