(Clearwisdom.net) In the wake of the Fa-rectification's progress and the evil having been greatly eliminated, the evil beings' support of the persecution continues to weaken. The old forces' arrangements for the world, however, are still in effect. Although they are no longer capable of doing as they please to persecute on a large scale, they are still active in some areas.

I think that the reason they can still carry on with their evil deeds in certain regions implies that they still have enough strength to carry them out. During the Fa-rectification period, a significant number of the evil beings have been eliminated. Those still active are looking for hiding places. They still have the ability to organize and thus gradually form a united front with enough evil power to persecute Falun Dafa. We need to be clear that any environment where they are gaining even an ever-so-slight foothold is a strong indication that the environment there is suitable for them to survive. It clearly shows that Falun Dafa practitioners in that area have not been performing the "three things" well. They have not been doing well in the collective elimination of the evil with righteous thoughts. Therefore, they have allowed a large number of evil beings to congregate and become an evil force that sustains the persecution. Consequently, the severity of the persecution has not subsided in that particular region.

Since the evil beings still are able to persecute Falun Dafa practitioners in certain regions, practitioners in that region must not be cooperating as one body. Clarifying the facts and sending forth righteous thoughts are deficient. Therefore, coordinated efforts by practitioners in that area are not sustained, providing the evil beings with the opportunity to gain a foothold. Then, where does the problem lie? After thorough Fa-study and discussions with fellow practitioners, I have realized that the reason such a large number of evil beings was able to gain a foothold was directly connected with the inability of practitioners to collectively use righteous thoughts to eliminate them. Practitioners were lacking and unable to act as one body. Our conclusions:

The global sending forth of righteous thoughts during the four prearranged hours actually was being done together well, but we have neglected to sustain fully the hourly regional sending of righteous thoughts. We failed to coordinate these regional activities well. Isn't it obvious? The practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts individually instead of melting into one body. Some practitioners were diligent, while others were not. The timing, crucial under such circumstances, was not adhered to. Everyone sent forth righteous thoughts at different times and for different lengths of time. As a result, the process was not harmonized. Some practitioners even added thoughts of their own, trying to eliminate this and disintegrate that. As they recite these, time for the proper process had passed, and the sending of righteous thoughts was no longer in unison. Without unity, the energy sent was dispersed and had no unified strength. The result of eliminating the evil was not achieved. The elimination of the evil was negatively affected. The dark minions and rotten demons in the other dimensions gathered together and became stronger, as we did not properly coordinate our effort. This naturally resulted in the sustained persecution of practitioners in that area.

Elimination of the evil would improve substantially if practitioners in the given regions would become cognizant of their shortcomings affecting their respective environments. It is strongly recommended that they send forth righteous thoughts in unison, towards one or more specific targets, and merge the energy into one. We are certain that the elimination of the evil will be more effective. The elimination of the evil will be instantaneous. Do not allow them any opportunity to escape. Eliminating them will improve our environment very rapidly.

When we send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil, it is usually to disintegrate the dark minions and rotten demons who are controlling the wicked people in this world. We thus prevent them from doing evil deeds. Yet, we neglect to consider the evil beings on earth who are guilty of unpardonable crimes against practitioners and their families. How could they still control this evil being? Is it not because he is wicked and conforms to their requirements? As some dark minions and rotten demons were eliminated, he was left behind, only to be controlled by other dark minions and rotten demons. It can be seen that the elimination of the evil had not been thorough. The evil being amongst the humans is like "poison." You can eliminate the being that uses the poison to harm people, but you leave the poison festering. Other wicked beings can still use the poison to harm people. Hence, when we send forth righteous thoughts, it is necessary for us to be comprehensive and without omission. There should be no evil left behind. Not a single spot can be left untouched.

There are some practitioners who have different views. They believe that to directly eliminate such beings through our righteous thoughts is not being compassionate. Teacher has told us quite clearly about the problem of eliminating the evil with righteous thoughts on many occasions. Yet, there are still practitioners that remain muddle-headed. They believe that though the human evil had committed many bad deeds, when Fa-rectification arrives in the human world, they can still be saved. If that were the case, then we need not clarify the facts and send forth righteous thoughts any longer. If the evil beings that persecute Falun Dafa practitioners can be saved, who remains that cannot be saved?

Whether a life form is benevolent or not cannot be gauged by its one lifetime. Only by considering its entire existence can it be considered as benevolent. Just think about it. If we allow a life form to commit all forms of crimes, then what awaits it is total annihilation. The universe will forever be rid of it. If we had halted its evil deed promptly, and if its karma were not too excessive, would it not be given another chance? On the contrary, Falun Dafa practitioners who have been persecuted to death by these evil beings were not supposed to die. So, did they not commit murder? If you just eliminate the dark minions and rotten demons that manipulate them, did we not leave an opening they could exploit? Is it possible for a person that commits murder-on-command to be judged as innocent? In fact, those wicked people that carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa in the human world are not only manipulated by the rotten demons, they are also controlled by the laws of the old forces. Actually, karmic retribution may not directly affect those who commit inhuman deeds. Such a person may only be affected in a limited way. But is it not true that it is also borne by their family members or relatives? Wouldn't this be according to the laws of the old forces? For that reason, such persons would be under the protection of the old forces. Couldn't they still be useful? To eliminate them would create a vacuum in the old forces' design. Thus, the old forces protect them until they become useless. We are cultivating in the Fa-rectification period and must totally reject the old forces' design. We shall not only eliminate the old forces but also all the "tools" used by the old forces in the persecution of Falun Dafa. Clarifying the facts is to provide salvation for all sentient beings. To eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts is similarly providing salvation for the sentient beings.

Aren't people afraid once they hear about the inhuman atrocities carried out by the evil people in the human world? Exposing such cruel deeds will evoke deep condemnation of the perpetrators and, at the same time, those hearing the truth will be filled with fear. They are terrified that they may suffer the same fate if they come in contact with, or support, Falun Dafa. Wouldn't that cause them to stay away from us? Thus, they might lose the opportunity to understand the facts and consequently lose their chance for salvation. After we expose the facts of the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners to their colleagues, neighbors and relatives, if we send forth righteous thoughts so that they receive the karmic retribution they deserve, then we would have advanced a step further in convincing people that good will be rewarded and evil will be punished. They will then believe in the truth of Falun Dafa. That would also frighten the evil beings and lead them to become fearful and desist from persecuting Falun Dafa. This way we can stop the persecution and save all sentient beings.

Falun Dafa is benevolent. We have shown it to be so to the people of the world. There may still be those in the human world that refuse to believe in Falun Dafa, but they do believe we are good people. Falun Dafa is dignified. Anyone that tries to damage Falun Dafa will bear the punishment of Falun Dafa. Falun Dafa practitioners who validate the Fa in the human world must validate the benevolence of the Fa, as well as the dignity of the Fa. Only then can Falun Dafa be better conveyed to the people of the world.
