Repost: Clearwisdom Net is A Dafa Website That is Meant for the Entire Society By the Clearwisdom Editors
(Clearwisdom Net) In June of 1999, the Clearwisdom website had its
Internet debut following the Chicago Experience-Sharing Conference. Since then,
two years have passed and, during this oppressive and solemn time, each step
seemed endless. In retrospect, everything has happened so fast that we are left
without words to describe it.
Before the eruption of the unique historic event, Clearwisdom's (Minghui's)
emergence was very low-key. In a deliberate effort to keep the readers'
attention focused on major issues, Clearwisdom debuted without even an opening
statement. At that time, the conflict between good and evil in the higher
dimensions was already becoming increasingly apparent in the human world. As a
result, Clearwisdom editors came face to face with a host of serious
challenges--for example, how to assume the role of cohering and guiding
practitioners when the cultivation environment in Mainland China was so
seriously undermined, and how to lend strong support to their fellow
practitioners in China who were beginning to encounter severe tribulations. And
lastly, how could Clearwisdom keep both the practitioners and kindhearted people
of the world informed about the Falun Gong situation in a timely manner?
At a time when the entire modern propaganda machine of the evil forces in
China was frantically spreading fabrication, lies, and slander, "Outside
Mainland China, few people besides Dafa disciples knew what Falun Gong was all
about, and all the governments and media around the world listened to the
groundless propaganda from Mainland China's media. People listened to China's
deceitful propaganda and believed it, and so they had a bad impression of
us" (Lecture on the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Conference).
But amidst this situation, Clearwisdom provided the world with a valuable source
of information and, more importantly, cast a positive light on Falun Gong. By
doing so, Clearwisdom was thus able to build one of the world's most diverse
readerships, which includes but is not limited to Dafa practitioners around the
world and their family and friends; all levels of China's government, police,
spy organizations, and detention centers; people who follow the news, who
observe Falun Gong, and who do research on Falun Gong; people who pay attention
to us, who support us, who oppose us, and even those who hate us; governments
around the world, diplomatic organizations, intelligence agencies, human rights
groups, religious groups, all media agencies, and so on and so forth. Since
then, people have considered Clearwisdom to be "the official website"
of Falun Gong.
We still remember the great external pressure that was mounting at that time.
Clearwisdom was not yet able to clearly present Dafa principles like it does
today. It had a severe shortage of human resources and technical capabilities,
its web design, maintenance, and editing capacities were relatively rough, and
in the midst of the sudden tribulation and great difficulties, the editors
themselves were also facing the important test of enlightening righteously.
Still, Dafa disciples from around the world sent out a clear and simultaneous
call through Clearwisdom:
Through unspeakable difficulties, the Fa-rectification process has progressed
to date, step by step and with the virtue of each and every Dafa practitioner's
bits of efforts, perseverance, and sacrifice. By braving the unrelenting storm
of the past two years, numerous cultivators have grown from Dafa practitioners,
to Dafa disciples, and eventually to mature Dafa particles. On the whole, Dafa
practitioners both inside and outside of China have constituted an
indestructible entity during the Fa-rectification period. In addition, more and
more people in society are coming to understand Falun Gong and are providing
moral support to those Falun Gong practitioners being ruthlessly persecuted in
China. Under the gaze of righteous people around the world, those vicious
scoundrels persecuting Falun Gong can no longer cover up their devious tricks,
roguish nature, and vicious crimes.
The Fa-rectification is still progressing rapidly. More and more of the
world's people are joining the ranks of Clearwisdom readers. More and more Dafa
practitioners, together with Clearwisdom, are maturing in their understanding of
the Fa. By clarifying the truth and exposing the persecution, Clearwisdom
articles are effectively shocking, intimidating and eliminating the evil. May
Dafa disciples take more initiative in breaking the remaining degenerate notions
that were formed over thousands of years and in freeing the people of the world
from these degenerate notions with reason, wisdom and compassion. Let the truth
of Dafa be circulated nobly and openly to a larger audience via Clearwisdom so
that more innocent beings can make a choice from the bottom of their hearts upon
encountering the facts and the Truth. Let history teach the future through all
of these touching and stirring stories of Fa-rectification!
