Written by a practitioner in China: Sheng Jie

(Clearwisdom.net) When I was working on my first article about fellow practitioners being persecuted by the evil because of validating Dafa, I felt so bad as I wrote about their physical torture and mental suffering. I had a deep respect for them in my heart. As I wrote down the names of the evil people who persecuted fellow practitioners, there arose in my heart a nameless hatred, so strong that the pen in my hand actually scratched and tore the paper.

After finishing the first article, I was deeply moved. My goal was to use the pen in my hand to record the monstrous crimes that the Jiang/Luo Regime was committing in persecuting the universal Great Law and the kind-hearted Dafa practitioners. I would make more people the world over know the truth about Dafa practitioners being persecuted, exposing the deceitful lies fabricated by the evil and offering the public a chance to choose their own future.

I wrote my second article about how our fellow practitioners did not give up their belief in "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" no matter how severe the persecution they received. Their deeds were really heroic and moving. As I wrote how practitioners silently endured all kinds of tortures -- electric shock, beatings, "tiger bench", "death bed" -- I could not help crying out my fellow practitioners' names, also asking them to plead to all gods that protect the Fa to come and help, and to quickly ask Teacher for help. As I was writing the names of the evil people that persecuted Dafa practitioners, I became especially calm, looking at these people that destroyed themselves in their own ignorance, implicating their own families and committing crimes that would hardly be pardoned. They were the victims of the deceiving lies and very pitiable.

When I was writing my third article, my soul was clear and clean as if being completely purified. My head was extremely sober-minded and I felt as if I was extremely tall and big. I also increased my capacity for endurance. I felt as if every cell of my body was full of righteous thoughts, and this thought was very strong. I no longer sighed in helplessness, nor did I have the impatience to ask my fellow practitioners to call on Teacher's help. I felt that the persecution of my fellow practitioners was the same as persecution against me and against the whole body of practitioners. Indeed, the persecution of my fellow practitioners was a direct persecution of Dafa itself. And to this persecution, I will never ever concede. I would directly use my strong righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil elements behind the persecutors that were mentioned in the articles, with nothing omitted, and I silently recited Teacher's Fa-rectification formulas. I felt myself as a law enforcement officer, safeguarding the universal truth. I was also a judge, responsible for all the positive factors in the universe, fulfilling my obligation to my unshirkable duty.

Now when I write an article, I concentrate my thoughts and efforts on eliminating all the evil that controls the evil persons committing crimes against Dafa and Dafa practitioners. The process for me to finish my article is just the process of eliminating the evil beings in the other dimensions. In this human dimension, it is to expose the evil, shock the evil beings, and also supply the powerful evidence to push the Jiang/Luo Regime to the historical trial court. Writing articles also plays the role of clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings. After finishing writing an article such as this one, I will read it over several times. Every word that I read carries with it the boundless power of the Fa, given to me by the Fa. It rushes towards the evil rotten demons in other dimensions. It is just like tens of thousands of sharp arrows shooting at the same time, shooting towards the demons in the other dimensions.

When I read the articles on the Clearwisdom website written by fellow practitioners, they seem to be written by me. It is as if I have joined in person with them, to eliminate all the evil factors behind the wicked persons who persecute Dafa practitioners. I am no longer an onlooker. Instead, I use my righteous heart and righteous thoughts to melt myself between the lines, strengthening the power to expose the evils. In other dimensions every article seems to be resplendent and powerful, greatly shocking the evil.

I sincerely hope that fellow practitioners will all go into action to expose the evil. This will strengthen all Dafa practitioners' sense of participation, and also strengthen the field of our righteous thoughts.

When writing and reading similar articles, I also clearly see through the evil intention of the old forces and the nature of their persecution. The old forces get most attached to their own arrangements, trying to make use of our loopholes to drag us into their choices. They attempt to land us back into the framework of individual cultivation and getting rid of our attachments, by following their requirements. They have used all kinds of cruel means to test Dafa practitioners in a most destructive way. If Dafa practitioners remain determined, they claim all the credit for themselves. Otherwise, they say that Dafa practitioners are not qualified. How evil they are!

Actually, all Fa-rectification Period Dafa practitioners should pose one serious question to each one of ourselves: What on earth is the purpose for us coming to this human world? And then, we should think seriously as to what extent we are following the old forces' choices; we should carefully check to see whether we are confused by the old forces, landing ourselves back in the process of individual cultivation. In following the old forces' arrangements, we are suffering unnecessary sufferings that are pushed onto us by the old forces. To what extent are we following Teacher's choice and Teacher's demands? Are we truly applying ourselves towards validating Dafa and saving the sentient beings, solidly fulfilling our sacred and great duty entrusted to us by Dafa? When we think of every issue from this perspective, we will not think that seriously about the sufferings that we have endured or are enduring, and we will not plant ourselves into the specific matter or contradiction and thus preoccupy ourselves with the conflicts. We will expand our way of thinking and enlarge our capacities for endurance, and thus do our best to harmonize Teacher's requirements and choices.

Teacher said in "Touring North America to Teach the Fa",

"I've said before that for a Dafa disciple, reaching Consummation through personal cultivation isn't such a big deal -- it's only a Dafa disciple's laying a foundation for himself in the cultivation process to prepare him for bigger things. If someone considers his individual Consummation the most important thing, I'd say that he's not worthy of being a Dafa disciple of the Fa-rectification period. ... So a Dafa disciple's responsibilities aren't for the sake of personal Consummation, but to save sentient beings while validating the Fa -- that is a Dafa disciple's historic mission, and that is why Dafa disciples are truly magnificent."

Teacher also mentioned in "Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.",

"Of course, each one of our Dafa disciples says that we don't recognize the old forces' arrangements, but that's not something you just say--you have to follow the requirements of Dafa and the Fa-rectification. 'I absolutely will not acknowledge any of those things you arranged in the past, old forces. I don't even acknowledge you.' When your righteous thoughts are very strong you can purge it and you can reject their arrangements."

We are Teacher's disciples, we should take the Fa as our Teacher, and we should follow without any doubts the requirements of the Fa-rectification as set forth by Teacher. We should walk the brand new path of Fa-rectification arranged by Teacher. At this present time, we should spare no efforts in doing the three things well [study the Fa, send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth]. Our righteous thoughts should be constantly strengthened, and should permeate the field of everything we are now doing to coordinate and upgrade ourselves as a whole body. Let us all put our minds and thoughts into validating Dafa and saving sentient beings. Let us use our righteous thoughts to positively influence all happenings in the human world and let us play well our leading roles on the big stage.
