(Clearwisdom.net) After getting out of a forced labor camp, a Dafa disciple had been left homeless and moved in with me. While talking with her, I learned that Dafa disciples in jails were suffering very much and fighting against the evil forces every second of every. Learning this, several other practitioners and I were touched to the heart. All Dafa practitioners form one body. The persecution of any one practitioner is the persecution of all of us as a whole. We realized that we should use our righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces, so as to help Dafa disciples in jails.

Once, one of our practitioners fell asleep while sending forth righteous thoughts. In her dream she saw a practitioner arrested while they were delivering truth-telling materials together. The practitioner came to her slowly, seemed very tired and very weak, saying to her, "Send forth righteous thoughts towards me. Send them to me. Help me. Give me some support!" and then disappeared. Waking up instantly, we all realized that this is a hint from Teacher to remind us that there should be no slacking off in our sending forth righteous thoughts.

After studying Fa and discussing this issue, we came to understand that helping fellow disciples in jails by sending forth our righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces can really reduce their suffering and help them walk out of the evil den using their own righteous thoughts. It is under the control of the evil old forces that the wicked scoundrels are persecuting Dafa practitioners. Therefore, using our righteous thoughts to eradicate the evil forces can lessen the persecution. In the "Fa-Lecture at the Conference in Florida, USA", Teacher said, "So you must take sending forth righteous thoughts seriously. No matter whether you think you have the ability or not, you should do it. What you eliminate from your own mind are ones which have an effect within the expanse of your own body; at the same time, you need to eliminate the external ones, which are directly related to the dimensions you're in. If you don't eliminate them, then they not only persecute you and restrain you, but also persecute other students, other Dafa disciples. As you know, the persecution that Dafa disciples in Mainland China suffer is quite severe, so each student has to truly, clearly realize what his responsibility is, and when he sends forth righteous thoughts he has to be able to truly calm his mind and truly produce the effect of righteous thoughts. So this is something extremely critical, extremely important."

Since we have been become more diligent in sending forth righteous thoughts, the number of arrests when delivering truth-clarifying materials has declined greatly. There were none at all for one period of time. This reminds us that the miraculous effects and the omnipotent power of Dafa will be revealed as long as we follow Teacher's Fa to cultivate ourselves, to do Fa-rectification work, and to be diligent Dafa disciples.

Fellow practitioners, please take sending forth righteous thoughts really seriously. This is one of our vows to assist Teacher in rectifying the Law and the manifestation of our responsibility to all the positive factors in the universe. To help all sentient beings to be out of the control of evil forces and to end the persecution of our fellow practitioners, please send forth righteous thoughts firmly and steadfastly. Maybe, a single righteous thought will eradicate a part of the evil force that prevents people from obtaining the truth, or will end the persecution of a fellow practitioner, or protect Dafa disciples delivering materials and clarifying the truth, allowing them to safely return home. Fellow practitioners, let us send forth our purest and firmest righteous thoughts to greet the coming of Fa-rectification to the world.
