The article, "What is True Kindness," discusses
with much clarity the question of how to handle Fa-rectification and
cultivation. Dafa disciples amidst Fa-rectification have a different situation
from when personal cultivation was done in the past. In the face of the
groundless harming, in the face of Dafa's persecution, and in the face of the
injustice forced upon us, we cannot handle things or categorically accept things
the way it was done before in personal cultivation, because Dafa disciples are
now in the Fa-rectification period. If a problem isn't caused by our own
attachments or mistakes, then it must be that the evil is interfering or doing
bad things.
Yet we are still cultivating and still have some last
ordinary human attachments. When a problem arises, we have to examine ourselves
first to see whether things are right or wrong on our part. If we determine that
it is interference or [an attempt to do] damage, when we deal with the specific
problem we should try our best to be calm and kind to these people who are at
the surface, because when the evil uses people, these people themselves usually
aren't aware of it (although those people who are used are usually either people
whose thoughts are just bad or people who have bad thoughts arising). As for the
interference by evil in other dimensions, we must seriously eradicate it with
righteous thoughts.
