We Should Not Go to Extremes and We Should Not Look at Issues with Human Notions

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently Clearwisdom.net published Part 5 of the Epoch Times' "Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) - The Collusion of Jiang Zemin with the Chinese Communist Party to Persecute Falun Gong."

Clearwisdom.net also published two articles written by practitioners after reading the Nine Commentaries. The first article is entitled "Further Purify Ourselves and Eliminate All Microscopic Elements of the Communist Party's Spirit Possession."

The second article is entitled "Exposing the Role Played by the Chinese Communist Party in the Persecution of Falun Gong is Saving Sentient Beings."

After reading these articles, I came to realize that Dafa practitioners should think from the perspective of the Fa and rectify any unrighteous elements deep inside ourselves and on the surface as well, to thus better eliminate the evil, clarify the truth and save sentient beings.

Nowadays people all know that the CCP is bad and that the CCP is persecuting Falun Gong. However, after reading the Nine Commentaries, many practitioners realized that the CCP is much more evil than people thought, and they more clearly understood how Jiang Zemin and the CCP have colluded with each other in persecuting Falun Gong.

I feel that practitioners should come to a consensus on the following several aspects:

First, practitioners should clearly see the CCP's fate, that is, it is doomed to be eliminated amidst the Fa-rectification. Therefore we should free ourselves from the contamination the CCP imposed on us in the past.

Second, practitioners need to offer salvation to people. Therefore, we should let people know that the CCP hates "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" and persecutes Falun Gong. People who know the truth will make the right decision. At the same time, practitioners should keep cultivating themselves. Our clarifying the truth is to validate Dafa, not ourselves.

Third, if practitioners act just like ordinary people, focusing on overturning a certain ruling party, then we've deviated from the Fa. After people know the truth of Falun Gong and the evil nature of the CCP, they will naturally stand up to oppose the persecution. However, having more people oppose the persecution is not the purpose of our clarifying the truth, but rather it is the natural result of our truth-clarification. We clarify the truth because we want people to understand the truth and thus be saved.

Lastly, if we worry that people might say we're involved in politics or if we avoid talking about the evil nature of the CCP out of our fear of the CCP, then we're manifesting another kind of attachment. Jiang Zemin and the CCP collude to persecute us. Why can't we openly tell people the facts? Of course, when we clarify the truth, we should consider everyday people's capability of accepting the facts and we should mind our tone and choice of words. Our purpose is to help people see through the evil nature of the CCP and offer salvation to sentient beings. We should understand the Fa from the perspective of the Fa, and walk our paths righteously.
