In my experience of telling the truth to people, I had the most difficulties with Chinese people. Most Westerners don’t have a lot of obstacles, and it is easy for them to see the truth. Everywhere we go, they have shown sympathy to Dafa, Dafa disciples and support for justice. The evil’s environment for existence is primarily where Chinese people are, especially in Mainland China.
In their long history full of changes and through numerous reincarnated lives, Chinese people have accumulated much karma, developed long-ingrained notions, and formed various fields of black matter. This is the environment of the evil’s existence and survival. The Teacher said in Lecture Seven of Zhuan Falun, in the section “The Issue of Treating Illnesses,” “…the black substance’s karmic field. It is something negative and bad. Those evil beings are also something negative, and they are all black. Thus, they can come because this environment suits them.” This is why the evil is most afraid of the spread of the truth. If everyone knows the truth, it will have nowhere to hide. That’s also why the evil is trying everything it can to stop the spread of the truth. It is therefore very important for us to break through the severe obstacles, and use multiple channels to tell the truth to Chinese people.
At the same time, the evil forces are using various notions of the Chinese people formed through history to spread lies. In actuality, these notions were arranged by the old forces in history to stall Fa-rectification. Countless Chinese people have been deceived by the evil force’s lies, and this in turn provided an environment for the evil to grow. The evil is extremely evil, and will definitely try to destroy beings even in its course of self-destruction. It is our unquestionable historic mission and sacred honor to save people and break through the evil arrangement of the old forces.
As Dafa disciples, on the human surface, we still more or less have false notions. We must purify ourselves and not be influenced by these notions, thereby not giving evil an opportunity to take advantage. If we don’t provide evil an environment to exist, then we can truly effectively eliminate ordinary human notions and the material field in which the evil exists, thus breaking through the evil arrangement of the old forces. Only when we are very righteous can we rectify all that is not righteous.
The wisdom we have cultivated from Dafa can fundamentally break through the various shells of ordinary people’s notions. The more righteous, pure, and firm we are, the more power we will have. The process of ordinary people’s understanding of the truth will also be natural and gradual. Our pure kindness and compassion are most powerful, and will strongly influence ordinary people’s thoughts, awakening the kindness in their true natures.
Everyone has numerous but unique notions. This means that when we tell the truth to Chinese people, we need to be more careful, also modifying the content depending on the individual and timing. The Teacher said, in Lecture Seven of Zhuan Falun in the section of “The Issue of Treating Illnesses,” “There is a specific supernormal ability for curing every illness…there are as many supernormal abilities as illnesses.” We should target the various notions of Chinese people in order to effectively tell the truth. When we break these notions, people will wake up, and the evil will be completely eliminated.
There is an intricate net of relationships among Chinese people. Every member of this group affects the others. So when one Chinese person knows the truth, he or she will become a part of the righteous force. This righteous force will no doubt have positive influence on other people. Just like it “brings hundreds of energy channels in motion via one energy channel” (“Heavenly Circuit,” Lecture Eight, Zhuan Falun), eventually we will turn the networks into righteous groups. When all groups become righteous, the evil will have nowhere to hide. It will be exposed in bright sun light, and receive its disgraceful end.
Telling the truth to the Chinese people is not a simple matter. As we actually do it more, we will gradually understand what to tell and how to tell the truth. “Rationality,” “wisdom,” “compassion,” “attitude and style,” “kindness,” “reasoning,” and so forth, are all cultivated through our Fa-rectification cultivation. The Teacher has said in Lecture Six of Zhuan Falun, in the section “Martial Arts Qigong,” “As a person with genuine gong and energy, you do not need to give it off intentionally; you will leave energy on whatever you touch, and it will all be shining brightly.” We shall let our pure righteous light shine forth in all the dark places. Wherever the light reaches, tens of thousands of people will become brightened too. People will come back to their true nature and conscience.
Let’s live up to Teacher’s infinite grace, and be even more diligent. We should use our indestructible righteous faith and Dafa’s boundless power and wisdom to “Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts,” (“Dafa Is Indestructible”), simultaneously eliminate all the evil in various dimensions, and together greet the glory of the new cosmos “with heavens clear, and celestial bodies transparent” (from “After Havoc,” Hongyin).
