Some Overseas Practitioners Talk About The Lawsuits
(Clearwisdom.net)
Practitioner W:
In Master's Hong Yin there is a poem called "Dafa Clears Up
Confusion." In the recent article "Singing the Praises of Master and
Dafa" which Master commented on, the author talked about the understanding
of the "confusion." Currently when lawsuits against the evil blossom
at various places, we can observe several kinds of "confusion."
One is that many practitioners feel their ability falls short of their
wishes. They know a thing is important and should be done, but cannot finish
meticulously in time the various aspects of what should be finished. Another
kind is that practitioners are very willing to participate, but just don't know
how to start.
Recently an article published on Clearwisdom.net, "To Practitioners Who
Clarify the Truth via TV" (Parts I through V), provided much help to a lot
of practitioners. The article said:
"Facing the evil, the paralyzed materials production site and severed
contacts with other practitioners, we started again from scratch. From the
microscopic level, in other dimensions, we went through the process of growing
out of nothing. Everyone knows that any life or matter forms from the
microscopic level to its surface. Microscopic particles form bigger molecules
that form even bigger molecules until they form the matter in our dimension. As
we study the Fa well and constantly correct and purify ourselves, we pay
attention to sending forth righteous thoughts, --communicating to local
practitioners' divine sides in other dimensions with our extraordinary abilities
bestowed by Dafa and eliminating the evil.
Using our cultivated sides, we promoted the reestablishment of the materials
production site and reconnected with the practitioners with whom we had lost
contact. As we did what we felt we should do, everything happened according to
Teacher's arrangement. Some examples of how this manifested in the human world
are: 1) I suddenly recalled a practitioner's phone number and immediately got
connected; 2) I encountered a practitioner whom I had wanted to reestablish
contact with on the street; 3) I suddenly received a page from others whom I had
lost contact with....
We thereafter very quickly reestablished a materials production site.
We then enlightened that many small material-production sites could be
established like this everywhere."
Under the harsh circumstances in Mainland China, once Dafa practitioners are
not clear-minded enough, it would cause obvious losses. On the surface, the
cultivation environment for overseas practitioners is different from that in
China; sometimes we don't feel it even if we have caused some losses. Think
about it, for those practitioners not knowing how to participate, if they have a
strong and powerful thought--"I want to participate in the lawsuit against
Jiang and all the lawsuits exposing the evil"--there will definitely be
breakthroughs. Anyway, the dimension we are in is a reflection of other
dimensions. Nonetheless, overseas practitioners often pay too much attention to
this dimension. Enlightened beings' true thought is the real powerful factor
while the human brain is only a processing plant. We often overemphasize the
ability of the processing plant and use this processing plant to do things,
instead of doing things in a cultivation state. When one is inside the Tao, it's
often like "when water flows, a channel is formed"--success will come
when conditions are right. Our righteous thoughts plus a little cooperation in
this dimension will be able to achieve it.
At the current stage of the Fa-rectification, the righteous and evil engage
in close combat. This requires us to have certain strategies and tactics. Now we
have lawsuits or upcoming lawsuits in Belgium, Finland, U.S., France, Canada,
and Switzerland. Each is a part of the overall situation instead of an isolated
battlefield. Therefore, in our minds and in the specific ways of doing things,
we need to consider the overall situation more. Here I don't mean how to ask for
more manpower from other regions to help and support the local lawsuit, but
rather how to make the local situation (the effect of truth-clarification) in
each battlefield contribute more to the overall situation, including of course
how to use the local lawsuit to mobilize more local practitioners to step
forward and cultivate diligently in Fa-rectification. Only so can we effectively
eliminate in large quantities the remnant old forces and their behind-the-scenes
helpers. This requires every practitioner's participation with righteous
thoughts. (The participation here does not mean every practitioner doing the
same thing or participating physically, but rather the joining of every
practitioner's power of righteous thoughts.)
Viewed from a broader perspective, all the lawsuits are also just truth
clarification. We cannot isolate the effort of having the lawsuit, as all should
be for the purpose of truth clarification.
Practitioner F:
Since the beginning of this year, Teacher has given us several Fa-lectures
and the standard of the Fa has become more pure and clear. Because overall we
did not study the Fa well enough and did not keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification,
we were not able set into action many tasks in Fa-rectification. Here are some
analyses for your reference:
Practitioner S:
Some understanding about righteous belief, righteous thoughts, righteous
actions and the case of suing Jiang.
Practitioner C:
1. We have not achieved a good enough state as a whole body
Fa-rectification is unprecedented in history. In this suppression where the
evil has spread its influence across the world, Master placed us at the highest
level we should return to in advance. In retrospect, I realize that we were able
to come through all because of the mercy of Master and Dafa.
In the past four years, we became more and more mature and gradually
understood our mission, our responsibilities and how we could complete this
great mission of saving sentient beings.
The state we are in as one whole body is a decisive factor in carrying out
and accomplishing major tasks in Fa-rectification. However, because we as a
whole have not gained a deep understanding of the evil and the importance of
exposing the evil, we are not able to proactively and rationally participate in
some of the important tasks as one whole body, and we have not been able to open
up our wisdom. Consequently, our cultivation as well as the way we handle things
appear to be driven along by what is happening externally, and as a result, many
of us feel tired and busy, unable to promote new tasks, while others feel they
want to help but do not know where to start.
Cultivation is breaking through different levels in the first place, and Fa-rectification
cultivation requires even more of us in our progressive understanding of the Fa,
so that we are able to constantly break through our current level of
understanding, to display a great momentum, to gather even greater energy mass
and to carry out our tasks in the human world with skill and ease. What
individuals cannot achieve can be achieved as one whole body; what individuals
are unable to do can be accomplished as one whole body.
This is the key point why we must "find ourselves" in Fa-rectification
cultivation. If we do not know the Fa at high levels, we cannot cultivate
upward. If we know about the Fa at high levels, but fail to cultivate our
xinxing,(moral character, heart or mind nature) we will not be able to
improve either. Once we find where we are lacking as one whole body, and when we
truly understand what we should do, then we will make major breakthroughs.
We must take into consideration the "human world" that we are
responsible for instead of paying attention to only our own surrounding area and
the tasks we are involved as individuals.
2. Looking for what we are lacking in the light of the few recent lawsuits
against Jiang
As for the lawsuit against Jiang filed in the U.S., due to the participation
of Dafa practitioners around the world with strong righteous thoughts, it
tempered us as one whole body. The few most recent lawsuits have also started
smoothly. However, it seems rather difficult to take even one further step. On
the surface, it seems to be concerned with everyday people's understanding and
technicalities, whereas in fact, everything is related to the cultivation state
of Dafa practitioners.
Everyday people are driven by us, so if we do not move, then everyday people
will not move either. Therefore, the success of any lawsuit cannot be
"done" by a few people; instead, it depends on the cultivation state
of us practitioners as a whole body, and yet the state of a whole body is formed
with each individual practitioner's cultivation state. Sometimes, it seems that
everyday people have moved ahead of us, and they seem to have stronger righteous
thoughts than some of us. This is because everyday people's society directly
reflects the progress of Fa-rectification, and when the evil is cleared away and
when the knowing side of people starts to play a role, their understanding of
the truth and their level of acceptance are also different than in the past. If
we fail to keep up with the Fa-rectification process, we might even obstruct
everyday people in their learning about the truth.
Practitioners did very well in their initiating the lawsuits, and so did the
lawyers who are helping us. It now depends on each of us Dafa practitioners.
Once the state of us as one whole body elevates to that level, other people will
have an easy ride in accomplishing their work.
3. In fact, many tasks will be easier with more practitioners' participation
and support.
In short, we should place ourselves in a state of an active participant,
proactively care about and participate in major projects, because this is
strengthening our energy mass.
Practitioner F:
After taking a long detour, I suddenly realized that whether we can regard
ourselves as cultivators and practitioners at all times is the crux that decides
if we can walk our path well during Fa-rectification cultivation. Master talked
about the Fa principle in Zhuan Falun that we should always have a
compassionate heart and maintain a peaceful state of mind. During Fa-rectification,
if we can at all times maintain such a state of mind as cultivators in dealing
with people and things around us, then perhaps we will have fewer problems in
cooperation and coordination. Only when we have strong righteous thoughts can
the divine side in us plays a role, and our influence on everyday people will
also increase. If we fail to keep the state of mind of a cultivator, we will
easily fall into a state of doing things like everyday people, and be unable to
achieve much, even though we expend much effort. If we cannot conduct ourselves
according to the requirements of a cultivator, we will be easily taken advantage
of by the evil. We may appear to be participating in Fa-rectification, yet in
fact, we are only doing things like everyday people. If we cannot maintain our xinxing,
we might even destroy ourselves.
