Some Understandings of the Importance of Rescuing U.S. Citizen Charles Li
By a Dafa practitioner in Boston
(Clearwisdom.net) Through sharing thoughts with fellow practitioners
from the perspective of the Fa, I have gained a clearer personal understanding
of the completely unreasonable act of Charles Li's arrest by Chinese
authorities immediately upon his arrival. I would like to share this
understanding with you here.
From Germany to Iceland, the evil has spread its persecution against Falun
Gong to overseas, and attempted to coerce governments in Western countries to
become its accomplice, from its accusations against Swedish and Hong Kong
practitioners of blocking the sidewalk in Hong Kong, to Hong Kong's Article
23, the evil is in fact attempting to legalize the expansion of persecution
abroad. This time, it blatantly kidnapped, arrested and detained Australian
citizen Nancy Chen and United States citizen Charles Li.
China is not a country ruled by law. The government has never followed the
law in its treatment of Falun Gong practitioners. It threatens attorneys not
to defend Falun Gong practitioners. Teacher said that,
"All of the excuses it's used to suppress us are fabricated lies. The
society's propaganda machines are all directed by it through its power,
and they've spread a lot of huge and outrageous lies among the Chinese
people and the rest of the world's people." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002
Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.")
Therefore we must completely negate all of the evil's so-called
accusations, slander and attempts to frame us.
As Dafa practitioners around the world filed a lawsuit against Jiang, and
as this lawsuit was acknowledged by related law agencies, and as the World
Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong was founded
and announced its investigation has begun, the old forces are trying their
best to obstruct Fa-rectification. Interference and persecution come swiftly,
one after another. On the surface, the evil is extremely rampant, but in fact
it is terrified. Just as Master has said,
"Whether it's inside or outside China, all the same, although there are
still a lot of beings who've been misled by the evil's propaganda,
overall, in other dimensions the strength of the evil and the strength of
the righteous are no longer in balance. The strength of the righteous has
tipped the scales in its favor as far as they go. Those evil beings can't
hold up now. The wicked people in the world might seem so evil, but that's
actually just arranged by the old forces."
"The evil has exhausted its tricks, and the Dafa disciples have matured
through the tempering." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in
Philadelphia, U.S.A.")
The unreasonable detentions of Nancy and Charles are not tribulations of
single practitioners, or the things from certain regions. They have come for
Dafa and all of us as a whole. When we place our attention on a certain
practitioner to see if he/she has attachments; or if we only put our attention
and efforts on the projects we are currently doing; or if we merely pay
attention to the people and things in our own region and country, the old
force would then use all means to separate us from forming a whole body.
We must look at things from the perspective of the Fa-rectification instead
of from the angle of individual cultivation. We should fully realize that the
persecution of one practitioner is the persecution against our whole body. We
should apply similar rescue efforts regardless of where the persecution
happens, be it in Australia, the US or China, regardless of whether it happens
to a practitioner himself, to his family or to fellow practitioners in China.
Practitioners in different regions, countries and continents should act
together as one body and clarify the truth to government and media in all
countries, and to thereby save people on a large scale.
"Without human action happening under cosmic changes, such conditions
would not have been brought to ordinary human society, and neither would
they be called cosmic changes." (Zhuan Falun)
When our xinxing has reached the standard as a whole, when Dafa
practitioners around the world have the righteous, rock-solid belief in Dafa,
and direct our righteous actions with the righteous thought of "In control of
Heaven and Earth, rectifying the human realm," ("The Foretelling") the cosmic
changes will then manifest.
The successful rescue effort for Nancy Chen from the Australian
practitioners was the result of their exchange of understandings based on the
Fa, and of being clear on Fa principles. As a whole, they actively joined in
the rescue effort and clarified the truth. The Australian government and the
whole of society were called upon. They actively joined in the rescue effort
and righteously placed themselves. Nancy has returned to Australia and many
people have been saved.
On the unreasonable detention of Charles Li, we must keep powerful
righteous thoughts and completely negate the old forces' arrangements and deny
even the existence of the old forces themselves. We must do our best with all
means in the rescue effort, thoroughly clarify the truth and save people.
