[PureInsight.org] Are we Falun Gong practitioners getting "political" when we promote The Epoch Times' The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and encourage people to withdraw from the Communist Party by publishing a formal statement on the Epoch Times' website? What does it have to do with clarifying the truth about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong? What does it have to do with offering Teacher's salvation to the world's people? These are issues that Falun Gong practitioners worldwide have been discussing lately. I would like to share my humble understandings on these subjects and I sincerely welcome everyone's kind comments.
It has always been our main goal to offer Teacher's salvation to the world's people. However, at each stage of Teacher's Fa-rectification, there might be different objectives depending on different situations in the human realms that reflect the progression of the Fa-rectification.
Until the Epoch Times published The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , we have been validating the Fa by opposing the CCP's persecution, clarifying the truth about Falun Gong and the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, and revealing the CCP's lies about Falun Gong. These forms of Fa-rectification work directly undo the CCP's continuous hate campaign and character attacks against Falun Gong practitioners. Falun Gong practitioners around the world have been patiently and persistently clarifying the truth to people and governments worldwide to facilitate the end of the CCP's most cruel persecution of Falun Gong. After six years, the persecution still continues. Naturally, Falun Gong practitioners continue to explore different ways to clarify the truth to end the persecution, such as global lawsuits against Jiang Zemin, the torture enactment exhibits in New York City and our latest efforts to rescue Chinese Falun Gong practitioners' children orphaned by the CCP's persecution. There is a very direct and clear cause and effect relationship between these lines of truth-clarification work and our mission to offer the world's people Teacher's salvation; therefore, we have no problem understanding and supporting them. We have become very accustomed to these forms of truth-clarification work.
Now we have started a new way to clarify the truth and to save the sentient beings: promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and to help them withdraw from the CCP as everyday people or on our media outlets. This will help people who live under the Communist regimes free themselves from the culture installed by the evil Communist Party, see through the cult nature of the Communist Party, and withdraw from the evil Communist Party.
The new form of truth-clarification work reflects the advent of a new stage of Teacher's Fa-rectification. Hence, it is essential for us Falun Gong practitioners to understand the importance of saving the world's people by promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and by helping people withdraw from the Communist Party.
We all understand from Teacher's Fa lectures that Teacher wishes to save all sentient beings in the entire cosmos in his Fa-rectification and that the human realm is the main battlefield against the evil in the universe. If the CCP had not launched its persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party would not have come into existence and we wouldn't need to encourage the world's people to withdraw from the CCP because the Fa will rectifies all lives, including CCP members.
Unfortunately, the old forces insisted that starting the persecution against Falun Gong and making the environment adverse to Falun Gong was the only way to reveal the sentient beings' attitudes towards Teacher's Fa-rectification. Meanwhile, the CCP installed a degenerate culture on the Chinese people, making it convenient for itself to control the Chinese people and to manipulate the Chinese people into oppose Teacher's Fa-rectification. In other words, the CCP has directly undermined Teacher's Fa-rectification and is doomed to be weeded out.
But those unfortunate people in China have come from high levels of the universe to obtain the Fa! Because of the CCP, they now refuse to even listen to the truth about Falun Gong. Even those who understand and accept the truth about Falun Gong are afraid to confess their true feelings and support of Falun Gong within the iron wall of China.
Those Chinese people who have the courage to express their support for Falun Gong are truly admirable, but the less courageous Chinese people deserve a chance for salvation as well! After all, we cannot expect every being to be perfect because it is precisely because the entire universe has become degenerate that Teacher has to rectify the universe. In addition, the less courageous Chinese people had once courageously decided to descend to the Three Realms because they believed in Teacher's Fa-rectification. They are truly admirable from making that big decision! It follows that it is essential for us to try our best to offer these less courageous Chinese people Teacher's salvation.
Reincarnated as human beings, many Chinese have become consumed by their attachments to fame, wealth and sentiments. Moreover, they live under the control of the evil Chinese Communist Party and its culture and are manipulated to position themselves incorrectly. This is most unfair to the Chinese people. Although the fact is that the old forces have arranged the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, it is against Teacher's wish and against the needs of the new universe, so we must not acknowledge it. It is not fair to force the sentient beings to express their opinions on Falun Gong in the most adverse and dangerous environment of China, which will then determine what kind of future they will have.
Since we must not acknowledge any of the old forces, we must try out best to offer Teacher's salvation to all the Chinese people despite the fact that they have become lost in the midst of the Chinese Communist Party's education and culture. After all, these beings have waited millions of years for the opportunity of being saved by Teacher during Teacher's Fa-rectification. We must not allow ourselves to be discouraged by the evil Communist Party's education and culture [imposed] on the Chinese people and compromise our determination to help accomplish Teacher's wish to save all sentient beings.
The old forces established the CCP and had the CCP build a culture to sabotage the sentient being's opportunities of salvation. When we help the sentient beings see through the evil nature of the CCP and disassociate from the CCP, we are saving the sentient beings and denying the CCP's evil work.
For the past six years, we have been clarifying the truth to the world's people with increased depths under Teacher's tutelage. Now we have progressed to the very core of the evil and tipped the balance of the war between goodness and evil to greatest favor of the goodness.
Because of the effect of many years of the CCP's indoctrination, the Chinese people are accustomed to evaluating and judging things according to the evil CCP's degenerate ideology. Consequently, they have a wrong perception of Falun Gong and refuse to accept the positive facts about Falun Gong.
In order to save the sentient beings in China, it is essential to establish a fair environment for them to wake up from the CCP's culture. Encouraging the Chinese people to read The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is a way to establish such an environment in their hearts. It follows that promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to the Chinese people and helping them to withdraw from the CCP is very much in line with our Fa-rectification work for the past six years.
On the other hand, this new form of Fa-rectification work requires us to further enhance our understanding of the Fa. By promoting The Nine Commentaries and prompting people's withdrawal from the CCP, we are by no means overthrowing the CCP or getting political. Teacher decided countless ages ago to rectify the universe. The human ream was established for that very purpose. We are promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and encouraging people to withdraw from the CCP because the Fa-rectification now needs us to save the sentient beings in this fashion.
As for the CCP's culture, it will ultimately disintegrate with the disintegration of the CCP. It is its inevitable fate although we have never tried to and never will overthrow the CCP. In fact, Falun Gong practitioners will be impervious to the collapse of the CCP because we are impervious to any changes in the environment of the human realm. The only thing that concerns us is to remove the evil CCP's effect on the minds of the Chinese people that prevent them from accepting the truth about Falun Gong. It is our ultimate goal to have 7 billion of the world's population obtain Teacher's salvation.
There is a psychological obstacle shared by many Falun Gong practitioners who are not completely comfortable with promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party as everyday people and in our news media. Most importantly, we must not promote it by lending the everyday people our political viewpoints. We will do things well when we maintain the purest mindsets without carrying any notions of politics.
It is important that we see The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party as an important Fa tool for us to help people withdraw from the CCP and to validate the Fa. Once we attain a correct, clear understanding, we will stop doubting this new approach. Instead, we will see that it is another choice of truth-clarification approach in addition to the existing ones for us to use as we see fit on the appropriate occasions.
Clarifying the truth about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and promoting The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party are both important approaches to saving sentient beings. In this important battle against the evil, it is important for us to keep increasing our tolerance and our foresight. We may either assume the identity of a Falun Gong practitioner or that of an everyday person as we see fit, as long we can attain the goal of saving the sentient beings. It is my humble wish to help fellow practitioners to enhance their understandings and cherish the precious Fa tool of The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , lest we will neglect to use it and cause irreversible damage to Fa-rectification because of our lack of foresight.
