By a practitioner in the U.S.

The prosecution of Jiang is a momentous event in the human world. While engaging in this big undertaking, we should pay attention not to get entangled in minor details. We have learned a lot of lessons in this regard.

With regard to the so-called self-immolation incident, many of us practitioners failed to realize the key point of such a farce - no matter who the self-immolators are, they are also victims of the persecution by Jiang's regime. However, many practitioners were attached to clarifying the details of the incident and wasted lots of time on it. They got trapped in the details, which is exactly what the old forces want.

This is not to say that we are wrong in analyzing the details. What is not appropriate is that we got hung up on the details and failed to realize the big picture of clarifying the truth and offering salvation to sentient beings. We unknowingly slipped into ordinary people's thinking.

Therefore, when we clarify the truth regarding the lawsuit, we should not be restrained by the detailed legal work, nor should we consider the legal details as the entire lawsuit. We cannot replace our truth-clarification with the legal work. We cannot get submerged by the details (for example, thinking that we can sue Jiang after he steps down because he no longer has diplomatic immunity) or be scared by the law (thinking that lay people can't possibly get involved in the lawsuit, thus weakening the strength of the whole body).

No matter whether it is a real or fake Wang Jindong (one of the several people who set themselves on fire in Tiananmen Square), they are all victims of Jiang's persecution. No matter whether or not Jiang is still the president, he should be punished for killing innocent people who practice "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." No matter whether or not you are legal experts, you still can utilize the lawsuit to clarify the truth. Every Dafa practitioner can do truth-clarification and can do it well. Only when we are not entangled with details, can we focus our energy on a big thing.

When we clarify the truth, we may want to focus on the following aspects: the large-scale killing of innocent people by Jiang, the harm Jiang's tyrannical rule has done to people, the brutal suppression of people who have their own beliefs, the death of innocent victims, the kindness and moral values shared by humanity, the trade-off between vested interest (be it political or economic) and human rights, the consequence of harboring evil, the danger of giving up a righteous stand, etc. If we clarify the truth like this, we are rectifying the field in the human world, the basis of the law, and all that is abnormal.
