"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible) Gerry Smith's Diary in Front of the Chinese Embassy in Ottawa Tuesday, 7/10/01 at 8:03 am in front of the Chinese Embassy, Ottawa, Canada
A breakthrough in endurance while cultivating in the Fa rectification:
Yesterday a friend brought me an article from Clearwisdom.net written by a
female practitioner in Masanjia Labor Camp. I read the whole article, which is
unusual since I often stop when reading about the persecution in China. I was
impressed by her total lack of complaint. What I really understood was her
magnificent endurance. This was a gift!
Last night there was a thunderstorm on the horizon so I started to arrange
the tarpaulin to cover the cooler, backpacks and stuff, and to provide a cover
for the sleeping bags. This is a new phase - in front of the Embassy with no
tent. A Chinese practitioner was sending righteous thoughts to eliminate the
evil for quite a while and felt the surrounding area was "ding" (very
peaceful).
Next a blonde girl and a couple stopped to read the posters. The girl read
the posters very completely starting from left to right. She already knew about Zhuan
Falun and asked the practitioner to show her the exercises, which she
learned very quickly. I got a call from a practitioner in Montreal saying that
he had dreamed about being with me in front of the Embassy and that he could get
off work and join me tomorrow and stay until the 20th of July. It rained last
night and we stayed dry under our tarpaulin. During the night a practitioner
called to see whether we were dry and was willing to come with a car if we
needed it.
This morning I woke up at 5:30 and decided to do the exercises so that people
driving by on the busy road in front of the Embassy could see that I was here
and see the exercises. While holding the wheel in the first position I again had
a very powerful and moving feeling when I thought about how our site in front of
the Embassy has become a 24-hour exercise sharing and Hongfa site.
While I was holding the wheel in the first position I exceeded 10 minutes so
I remembered that Master had said it was better if we held it as long as
possible; so I thought, "I will hold it for 1 hour since the practitioners
have endured so much they are an inspiration." I endured for an hour during
which time I had a period of many tears thinking of the persecuted practitioners
in China. Then my arms started shaking and after a while my arms were still
shaking and I felt strong energy in my hands and body like a tube of energy of
which the wheel-shape of my arms formed part of the tube. I wanted the tube of
energy to go through to the practitioners in China.
Then I thought about how Falun Gong practitioners might be freed in China so
that they could walk out of the labor camps and go home; and the police and
staff at labor camps would refuse to persecute Falun Gong practitioners any
more.
A friend told us that a Jewish friend of his said that when Hitler wanted to
exterminate Jews, he first demonized them to get the country's support. And this
is what Jiang Zemin has done to Falun Gong.
To be continued.
