Oppose Any Indifference of Modern People
A Falun Dafa practitioner
Participating in an SOS trip, we stopped by many cities to
raise awareness in people's minds of the persecution against Falun Gong, and to
offer those who were informed an opportunity in opposing the evil. While
standing there outside city hall holding an SOS banner to the passersby, someone
suggested that we send forth our righteous thoughts. I immediately began to
think of the most purest thoughts in my mind. We were standing there doing a
most righteous thing, urgently calling for help in a rescue effort. Yet there
still some people that passed by as if they saw nothing. I came to an
understanding that people's indifference towards Dafa's persecution is a
by-product of the deformed modern society and part of the old force's
arrangement that is helping to impede the entire process of Fa-rectification. The most frequent example of this thinking is when people say to me when I try
to expose the evil"...Oh, this is happening everywhere in the world",
"...it's just like the persecution of [such and such religious
group]", or "...we are also being persecuted in our own country."
The manifestation of this takes many different forms. I now see this more
clearly as the old forces working on people's minds, imposing these thoughts so
that people can find an excuse not to actively participate in opposing the evil. Yet I have also come to realize that this loophole the demons have found, that
people's indifference may also be a result that my own thoughts are not
righteous enough. In teacher's recent Washington DC lecture, teacher has spoken
"It has to be Dafa disciples who do Dafa work." Whenever I talk to
people about the SOS effort from the viewpoint of an everyday person, treating
the entire SOS effort like any other traditional human rights endeavor instead
of looking at the encounter from a practitioner's perspective, I find the effect
of clarifying the truth inadequate. For every person that we come into contact
with, this is a potentially serious problem that will come up and I hope to be
more vigilant in recognizing it and to keep my thoughts more righteous. In the
past, whenever I heard such phrases, I used to verbally affirm this or to nod in
agreement in order to gain people's sympathy or understanding, being afraid to
offend and believing that as long as people were exposed to the evil it was
enough to help save them. Looking back now, doing such a thing is one of the
worse things a cultivator can do and does not accord with Zhen-Shan-Ren and
neither does it help to validate Fa. Teacher has written, "A Dafa disciple
completely opposes everything arranged by the evil old forces." [Dafa is
Indestructible]. As a cultivator, I should never acknowledge these warped
notions and concepts. These are what the evil old forces are using to cover up
human beings inherent good nature, to make an excuse for them not to actively
offer help when it is urgently called for. The above is only my limited
understanding at this time.
