In Clarifying the Truth, Understand and Address the Source of Some People's Underlying Negativity By a Chinese Practitioner Living Outside China
(Clearwisdom.net) We have become more skillful than ever before when
clarifying the truth to people and we can more clearly clarify the fact that
many practitioners have been tortured to death. However, we sometimes feel that
we are not powerful enough to penetrate into people's deeper levels. Once, when
we attended a public hearing in Washington, D.C., I was shocked to hear a
practitioner comment afterwards that our practitioner witness did not put his
heart into his speech. Our clarifying the truth to people is not a mechanical task; rather, it comes
from the kindness and compassion that comes from the bottom of our hearts. We
must save as many sentient beings as possible before the destruction of the old
forces. It is impossible to clarify the truth well if we don't base our efforts
on this motivation of urgency. Some practitioners have keenly observed that human beings in the
dharma-ending period harbor a great deal of negativity. The aware side of one's
true self is so eager to know the truth that it is in agony, which manifests as
negativity. Our truth-clarification will achieve better results if we can
empathize with this human suffering of longing for the truth. The movement to
bring Jiang to justice is now occurring all over the world. In terms of both
content and function, our thinking has reached beyond the laws created by humans
and has extended to the spiritual level. If we can penetrate through the bitter
façade to the source of the spiritual suffering of human beings while
clarifying the truth to them, our realm and level of mind will become higher, as
will the degree and magnitude to which people will be touched. When clarifying the truth, we encounter various types of people, with both
individual characteristics and characteristics of their generation, as well as
those of society, spirit and morality. As we talk to each of them, we must
target their positive sides, find the approach that can enable them to be saved,
appeal to their consciences and cause a benign change to occur within them. Some
practitioners have begun to use this method, and their results have been great.
For instance, one practitioner keeps strong righteous thoughts when making phone
calls to the Chinese people. He talks to the positive side of people from the
beginning to the end of the call, compassionately clarifying the truth to their
awakened side. He has achieved very good results each time, as this action
specifically opposes the arrangement of the old forces, and causes the
information blockade as well as the persecution that the old forces have imposed
on salvageable people to fail. Posting date: 12/5/2003 |
