By a Dafa Disciple from China

(Clearwisdom.net) After reading Teacher's article "Dafa is Indestructible" and seeing the phrase "completely opposing everything arranged by the evil old forces," I have been asking myself: how well can I recognize "everything arranged by the evil old forces?" I began to pay attention to the daily lives of some fellow practitioners whom I have frequent contact with. I saw that under the pretext of "harmonizing the Fa well," some are busy with "taking care of their families" and unable to do Fa-rectification work, while some neglect their family due to Fa-rectification work.

After seeing these phenomena, I realized that I have also understood incorrectly. What Teacher says is the Fa. It is not enough by far to understand the Fa superficially and thus pay attention to superficial things. We should instead look inward to find the Fa's inner meanings at different levels, through which Teacher can have us really understand the Fa. Then, in "everything arranged by the evil old forces," how much did I recognize from the perspective of the Fa? What Teacher said is "completely opposing everything arranged by the evil old forces." At first glance, I had only paid attention to "arranged by the evil old forces," but not "everything" and "completely opposing."

Thus, I started to seriously look inward for everything arranged by the evil old forces. Through studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth, I have seen through, one after another, "everything" arranged around me by the evil old forces. I discovered that the evil old forces had taken great pains to create an intricate arrangement, and everything they had exhausted all efforts to arrange is motivated by their selfishness and to save themselves. Again, I studied the Fa and looked inward to find the meaning of "completely oppose everything arranged by the evil old forces." How should I "completely oppose?" One cannot "oppose" before he sees clearly what the arrangement of the evil old forces is. After Teacher's "Touring North America to Teach the Fa" was made available, Dafa disciples all over the world started sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements that control the head of the evil. However, before Teacher explained it to us explicitly in the Fa-lecture, we had still been accepting things "arranged by the evil old forces," which was to keep the head of evil alive until the Fa rectifies the human world.

Now, let me ask the evil old forces: you consider yourselves to be up to standard and don't need any improvement, but what kind of a standard is it? You want to keep the head of evil , who has no human nature at all, alive to the very end. Meanwhile you are killing Dafa disciples, who are cultivating themselves through "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and who are not up to your standard, through torture and "disease" in order to make them fit your standard. Are you still qualified to be Buddhas, Daos, and Gods at various levels in the universe? I have seen you clearly and I will not allow you to make Dafa disciples reach your standard by beating them to death or by making them die of disease. Before this, whenever I saw a fellow practitioner having a certain attachment, I felt very anxious and thought that if this attachment was not let go of, "the evil old forces" would have an excuse for their persecution. Now, I realized that even the so-called excuse is "arranged by the evil old forces." Discussion among fellow practitioners about their attachments is one way of rectifying the Fa for the evil old forces who don't know the truth yet. If they still do not believe and continue doing bad things with their excuses, I will completely oppose and eradicate them.
