Let Us Do Well in Playing the Main Roles of Assisting Teacher During Fa-rectification By a practitioner from Europe (Clearwisdom.net) I would like to share with everyone what I've come to understand
recently through doing Fa-rectification work. Please kindly point out anything incorrect. Suing Li Lanqing We invited several famous human rights lawyers for the Li Lanqing case. After we told them about
Falun Gong, one of them became very proactive. He was well known to the Brussels media, and he was
good at doing public relations and media work. He called the newspapers one by one personally.
Additionally he emphasized that his clients were NOT "sect" members and required that the
media use the proper wording in their reports. We were very delighted by this development, since the Jiang regime used illegal means to defame
us in France. There must have been a lot of evil beings gathered to manipulate the French language
media in Paris and Brussels. Since the beginning of the persecution, the reports in the French
language media have been negative. We hoped that this situation could be rectified with the
influence of this lawyer. However, very soon, we were proven to be wrong. This is because we forgot
that the Fa-rectification Dafa disciples should play the main role of assisting Master to rectify
the Fa. We did not see the issue from the standpoint of Fa-rectification. The next day, several newspapers in Brussels reported our case. Some were very good, but the
French language ones were still using the bad name, and even quoted the Jiang's regime's wording in
1999. After seeing this, we took a step back and calmed down, and I saw my attachment clearly. I remembered reading about Master's warning against relying too much on people in society to do
our work as Dafa disciples, but I did not look inside to see my problems in this when I read this
part of the teaching, instead I thought it was pointing at other practitioners. However, this time I
saw my problem clearly. I found that when doing local truth clarification work with the media and government officials, I
was often passively holding out hope that everyday people would help This is a serious issue. We want to save sentient beings, but our attachment and impurity of
thought are preventing them from being saved! Additionally, I was astonished when I saw how widely
this problem existed in our Fa rectification work. Our project team is a big one. If just a few of
us have the impure thoughts, it is not a big problem, but if many of us have it, it will become a
big problem. Why was the United States kicked out of the UN Human Rights Committee? Did we put too much hope
in the role that the United States could play? Why haven't we clarified the truth to more people in China? Is this because some of us have the
hope that society would rise up and rectify the whole situation? Now in Hong Kong, many non-practitioners have stepped forward and done a lot against the proposed
anti-subversion law. Do we harbor the hope that other people's efforts would prevent the law from
being passed? I feel that when we regard the result of a specific case, for example the UN Human Rights
Convention, as being overly important, many impure thoughts would be mixed in it. Then the evil
would simply use our impure thoughts to interfere with us and at the same time, create obstacles for
what we are doing. In order to completely deny the old forces' arrangement, we must guard every
thought of ours based on Fa-rectification. At the same time, we should turn around all of the old
forces' arrangements and use them as opportunities to clarify the truth, offer salvation to sentient
beings, and improve our cultivation. At the same time, we must emphasize calmly studying the Fa and
persistently send forth righteous thoughts everyday. After recognizing the solemn nature of our every thought's purity in doing Fa-rectification work,
I think that our project team needs to first determine how we can, as a whole, look at things based
on Fa-rectification, instead of hurriedly dividing up the work and coordinating specific activities.
There is a fundamental difference between Dafa disciples' doing Dafa work and everyday people's
doing Dafa work. In doing the Dafa work, it will be clear whether we have enough righteous belief
and righteous thoughts toward Dafa. It becomes an even more pressing requirement for us to
continuously strengthen and purify our righteous belief and righteous thoughts toward Dafa, and an
even more pressing requirement for our determined righteous thoughts and righteous actions. Posting date: 1/23/2003 |
