[PureInsight.org] Recently,
Dafa practitioners in this area have encountered some serious problems,
such as worsening sickness karma, being illegally sentenced to prison
or sent to so-called "reeducation through labor" camps by the evil
forces, and even passing away suddenly. All these have caused severe
damage to our effort of validating Dafa, since ordinary people find it
hard to understand the reasons in the realm of cultivation that are the
behind these problems. The evil forces also took advantage of the
situation. The cause of saving sentient beings thus has been negatively
impacted.
In "Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.,"
Master Li said, "As I've said, everything that happens today in the
ordinary society is the result of Dafa disciples' thoughts." By
studying Dafa and communicating with fellow practitioners, we have
identified our own attachments, attachments that we have long held on
to. The old forces have used these as a pretext for their persecution,
magnifying and enlarging practitioners' attachments. We have realized
through communication that the different kinds of persecution seem
unrelated on the surface, but that they are actually not isolated or
just passing. The old forces continue to aggravate the persecution,
which reflects that we have omissions in the process of our cultivation
and our righteous thoughts are not strong enough as a whole.
An important cause of the above-mentioned problems in our area is that
we have not studied Fa as a group for a long time. The lack of
communication among fellow practitioners has made it possible for the
old forces to isolate and then persecute practitioners.
We should ask ourselves: after our fellow practitioners were abducted
by the evil, what did we do for them? Did we actively try different
ways to rescue them? When fellow practitioners underwent serious sick
karma and struggled to stay alive, did we remain indifferent or
ignorant? When we see fellow practitioners who are having significant
difficulty, should we join hands with them as a whole body and back
them up with our righteous thoughts, or should we leave them alone
being persecuted by the old forces? When we are connected, we have much
more power. What the evil fears is the power of our righteous thoughts
when we work together. Therefore, Dafa practitioners must conduct
cultivation together and solidly. We must completely negate all the
arrangements made by the old forces, resolutely clear away any
persecution by the evil old forces, spread the truth and save ordinary
people who are still in the dark.
The ultimate purpose of the old forces and the evil's arrangements is
to harm Dafa and destroy lives. For example, the evil Party has hired
rogues to provoke agitation and conflict, smear Dafa and confuse the
public in the Chinese community in Flushing, New York City. We should
not ignore all these transgressions. Rather, we must immediately and
extensively clarify the truth and expose the blatant lies that the evil
Party is spreading. We must prevent those people who have been fooled
by the evil Party from being destroyed along with the evil Party. We
must encourage them to withdraw their membership from the evil Chinese
Communist Party.
The poorly constructed school buildings in Sichuan's earthquake area
have killed so many youngsters in their golden age. The old forces not
only take away the precious lives of our fellow practitioners and
directly interfere with our life-saving truth clarification endeavor,
but also blatantly destroy the lives of so many ordinary people. This
should be sufficient to make us alert and vigilant. We can wait no more
to clarify the truth and save people. Are we still afraid of the hard
work, of losing face, and of being turned in to the authorities? Any
slackness and numbness on our part is clearly attributable to a lack of
mercy toward sentient beings, being irresponsible for oneself, and the
existence of attachments that reflect selfishness.
As a result, I would like to share the following suggestions with fellow practitioners in this area.
cultivation environment that Master Li has established for us to
improve ourselves collectively. Such an environment helps us find our
omissions, make corrections, and fulfill our three major
responsibilities more effectively. Thus, we must make progress in
establishing and developing environments in which we study Fa together.
2. Add the following thoughts when you send righteous thoughts at 7pm,
8pm and the four other times each day: (I)Completely negate all
arrangements made by the old forces, eliminate all evil elements that
exist to separate Dafa practitioners in this area. (II)Dismantle all
evil beings and evil elements in the field of space corresponding to
this area, completely clearing out any evil formations that exist to
interfere with Dafa.
3. Break through the isolation, clear away the evil's interference with
the Fa-Rectification process and the negative impact this has had, and
enhance communication among fellow practitioners. Carefully identify
and correct our deficiencies, and improve ourselves collectively. Adopt
a solid and stable mentality, continue to work hard to complete the
three major tasks, and put saving sentient beings as our top priority.
By keeping Master Li and the Fa in mind all the time, we will
definitely fulfill the holy responsibilities that we are supposed to
shoulder, with uncompromising righteous thoughts and the persistence
that comes from selflessness and fearlessness.
The above are only my personal understandings and I appreciate suggestions and comments from fellow practitioners.
