A few days ago I had a dream where I saw diligent local practitioners who had no evil interference. I also saw non-diligent practitioners who came out late to clarify the truth, and their interference was still very large. I had one thought: namely, to send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate this interference and deny the old forces' arrangement.

Later on, Teacher's lecture "Falun Buddha Fa Teaching the Fa at the Assistants' Fa Conference in Changchun" repeatedly appeared in my mind. Teacher said,

In today's Mainland China, how can we deny the old forces' arrangements and create an environment free of disturbances, while clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings?

I thought of several effective methods that practitioners have used, such as sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions of the old forces. In some areas, practitioners exposed the evil acts of those bad people in their areas and this effectively restrained the evil. Some practitioners also directly clarified the truth to local leaders in charge of the persecution. After these leaders learn the truth, they would restrain from helping Jiang's regime do evil and may even begin to protect practitioners. Gradually the practitioners created an uninterrupted environment for clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings.

The aforementioned methods are all good and fundamentally deny the old forces' arrangement, while catching up with the Fa-rectification process and doing well with the three things that Teacher asked.

During this long period of persecution, some practitioners may have formed the notion that diligent practitioners will be persecuted. Actually this is an incorrect notion. For non-diligent practitioners and those who failed to catch up with the Fa rectification, they are already under the persecution of the old forces, yet they still do not realize it.

Here's an example: if a frog falls into hot water, it will immediately jump out; however, if a frog falls into warm water it will feel very comfortable and enjoy it. When the water is heated gradually to a dangerous temperature, the comfort and enjoyment will have already consumed the frog's will and strength, and it will be incapable of jumping out. Presently some of the non-diligent practitioners are in this dangerous situation.

Based on the behavior of the old forces, they have a well-organized plan to persecute practitioners. This can be seen by the destruction of the internet login stations [where practitioners can have access to internet and download materials from Dafa websites] and large material information sites. Minghui net has suggested that we solve this problem and prevent the evil's focused persecution by establishing small internet login locations and material information sites all over the place, rather than having a few big ones in one place.

The evil, however, has integrated thinking. If we do not have integrated thinking, then it is possible the following problem will occur--even though we had an overall advantage over the evil, still, in some local areas, the evil has taken advantage of us, and it is possible that our environment will be destroyed and that practitioners will incur many un-necessary losses. In these areas, my personal thinking is that diligent practitioners should help those non-diligent practitioners ascend together and form an integrated force so that no "excuse" to persecute us exists.

Regarding the battle between good and evil that is currently happening in New York and Beijing, practitioners who can afford it can go there to directly participate. Those who cannot afford to go can send forth righteous thoughts from a distance to support them. They can also increase their participation in truth clarification activities in their local area, and increase the attacks on the evil to restrain the evil's ability, thereby reducing the evil in these two locations.

Fa rectification has proceeded to this day, and after five years of persecution we changed from passively suffering to becoming actively against the persecution both in and outside mainland China.

Presently, the more diligent practitioners have fewer and fewer attachments and their thoughts have become purer and purer. They are more capable and the evil forces have become even smaller, so the evil has no excuse or capability to persecute diligent practitioners. Conversely, the persecution of those non-diligent practitioners has increased. I think that there are two reasons for this: first, the remaining evil can only have this ability to persecute practitioners who still have many attachments, and second, with the Fa rectification progressing to this day, practitioners who still cannot seriously take the three things asked of by Teacher, and cannot meet the requirements of a Fa rectification period Dafa practitioner will leave loopholes for the evil to exploit and incur more severe persecution.

When looking at this from another point of view, we are approaching the end of this persecution, and the evil' persecuting those practitioners is equivalent to giving them one last chance. "Grand talk counts for naught when it comes to life and death, Actions reveal what is true." [from "The Knowing Heart"] If the persecution ends, those practitioners will have no chance to validate Dafa and save sentient beings.

The above statement is my personal understanding, so please kindly point out anything inappropriate. Let's work together to create an environment of non-interference, while clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings.
