Form One Body and Eradicate the Evil Together
By a Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Clearwisdom recently published an article "Panicked
Authorities in Hebei Province Indiscriminately Arrest Falun Dafa Practitioners
in Retaliation for TV Tapping Incident." The article said, "Certain lawless
authorities were very panicked after Falun Dafa practitioners in Xingtai City
and Shahe City, Hebei Province successfully inserted signals into a local TV
program to clarify the truth about Falun Gong during the Chinese New Year. The
Hebei Province Party Committee ordered Xingtai City to 'solve the case' by a
deadline; otherwise the mayor would be fired. In the meantime, some officers
from Hebei Province Police Department stationed in the Yongnian area have
arrested several practitioners. Many Falun Dafa practitioners had no other
choice but to leave their homes to avoid arrest and persecution." (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/2/8/44894.html)
After reading this I was very moved. Our great fellow practitioners, one after
another, have sacrificed all they have to save sentient beings! Following Changchun area practitioners' pioneering deeds to explain the facts
about Falun Gong through TV, truth clarification by pre-empting television
broadcasts has produced good effects in many areas. This has strongly exposed
and frightened the evil and let many people know the facts. However in many
areas after the practitioners tapped into TV signals to broadcast Falun Gong
documentary videos, the evil accumulated there to furiously persecute
practitioners and caused some loss to the Fa-rectification work in those areas.
In the Changchun area alone, almost 5,000 practitioners were rounded up after
the first broadcasts, and some, like Liu Chengjun, have even been tortured to
death. Other areas that have done TV tapping, for example, the city of Nahe in
Heilongjiang Province, and the current cities of Xingtai and Shahe, and Yongnian
area in Handan City, Hebei Province, also have suffered persecution to various
degrees. As Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners, everyone should think
carefully about how to work together to eradicate the evil persecution and
oppose the old forces' arrangement, and how to completely break the evil's
blockage and interference with truth clarification through TV tapping, and how
to break the evil's persecution of practitioners, so that truth clarification
through TV tapping can more widely be used around the country to more
effectively save sentient beings. In 2002 when Changchun area practitioners tapped into TV signals to clarify
the truth, we may not have had a clear understanding of the Fa principles, yet
now two years later on the path created through the sacrifice of fellow
practitioners' lives, we should become mature on this aspect. Hopefully, all
practitioners can pay attention to and think about this issue. Truth clarification through TV covers wide areas and has good effects. Thus
the evil fears it the most and tries desperately to block it. Master also said
that it is a disaster for the evil. In China 80% of the population are farmers
who live in relatively poor areas that have very limited access to computers and
other Internet sources. VCD players are not widely available either. Some
mountain areas in particular have very little connection with the outside world
and are ill-informed. However, since the people there have TV, they are also
poisoned by the evil's lies and slanders against Dafa on the TV and radio
broadcasts. Dafa disciples have been using various ways of clarifying the truth such as
giving out flyers, making phone calls and giving out CDs. However, there are
places that Dafa disciples cannot reach because there are fewer Dafa disciples
in those areas or other reasons. Therefore, using TV to clarify the truth can
help reach these areas and this approach is particularly showing its strength
during this last period of time in the course of Fa-rectification. How can we break the arrangement by the evil old forces of persecuting Dafa
disciples and truly attain the objective of offering salvation to all sentient
beings? Is it that we will be severely persecuted by the evil old forces
whenever we use TV to clarify the truth? I think that we should examine
ourselves first and see whether we need to let go of some notions among Dafa
disciples as one body or not. In "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Atlanta Fa Conference," Teacher told us: "You all know that Dafa disciples have now become more mature. In
validating the Fa, and on this path of gods, you all know what to do. At
such a time, the less I speak the more it benefits you all. And why do I say
that? Because this period of time is precisely given to you as an
opportunity to temper yourselves, this period of time is precisely given to
you as an opportunity to establish your mighty virtue. So I can't always
have you do things without thinking them over on your own, and I can't have
you not blaze your own path while validating your own Fruition. If
you are always led by Master, if I still tell you what to do when it comes
to specific things in validating the Fa, that doesn't work. Once Dafa
disciples reach Perfection, your Fruition and levels aren't low. In other
words, the responsibilities that you will have for future living beings are
immense. Then if that's the case, if you don't possess that kind of mighty
virtue, haven't blazed your own path, and don't know what to do when you
need to do things independently, that won't do. So I have deliberately given
you this period of time so that you can have opportunities to temper
yourselves and become mature." Therefore, we must be able to think independently, study the Fa more, develop
more understanding based on the principles of the Fa and become enlightened
along a Dafa disciple's own path. In this way Teacher can set his mind at ease
about us. In "Singing the Praises of Master and Dafa * With Master's Comment" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2003/8/30/39707.html),
the practitioner said, "The old cosmos's forces, within the realm of their
power, created the manifestation of imposing their old, degenerated things upon
Master and Dafa, and this manifestation looks 'solid and concrete' to the
sentient beings within this realm. However, this is absolutely not Master's
original will and true manifestation, and it is not the true image of Dafa.
Instead, they are false illusions that the old forces created for the cosmos's
sentient beings within their realm in the course of choosing their
self-destruction. In the human world, those illusions manifest as countless
vicious lies, and even as some 'solid and concrete' manifestations of
cultivators' and practitioners' situations, and they even dare to do things
towards Teacher. People in the world believe them to be true, many cultivators
believe them to be true, but these sentient beings who have been deceived cannot
truly know the real situation. All of these 'solid, concrete facts and
phenomena' are precisely the acts by the old forces in the process of their
self-destruction, and they are also severe tests for sentient beings' and
cultivators' futures. The manifestations of what has been imposed upon Master,
Dafa and Dafa disciples will be over with the passing of the old cosmos.
......... At this time when the last manifestations of the old cosmos are
passing quickly, for the people of the world and especially the multitude of
cultivators who have been deceived by all of the false illusions created by the
old forces, they need to be ever more rational and clear-minded." Comment from Master: "The ideas in this article are laid out well, and the author has a very
clear understanding of Master's Fa-rectification and Dafa disciples'
validation of the Fa. If all Dafa disciples can be as rational and
clearheaded as this, and have righteous thoughts and righteous actions in
validating the Fa, then there will be no persecution, and there will be no
gaps for the evil to exploit." We can also re-study Teacher's article "Look at Things with Righteous
Thoughts": "Right now, the Dafa disciples of Mainland China using television to let
people know the truth is exposing the evil's persecution, is saving the
sentient beings whose minds have been poisoned by the evil's deceit, and is
a magnificent act of mercy. "The group of evil political scoundrels has never followed the law in
dealing with Dafa disciples, so don't disapprove again of the actions Dafa
disciples are taking as they clarify the truth, due to your attachment of
fear. No matter how the evil persecutes, what awaits Dafa disciples is still
Consummation, and what awaits the evil beings is nothing but eternally
paying in Hell for all they have done to interfere with and persecute the Fa-rectification
and Dafa disciples." So fundamentally we have to look at things with our righteous thoughts and
form a whole body to eliminate the evil's arrangements. Since tapping into TV
networks is a large undertaking, it requires co-operation and participation from
all of us as a united team. In the past, for safety consideration, only the few
people who were actually carrying out the task knew what was going on. The
majority of Dafa disciples did not participate and even did not know about it.
Many disciples felt that clarifying the truth via TV did not have much to do
with them. This is similar to how we thought about the "Bring Jiang to Justice" effort
at the beginning. We felt that it was the responsibility of local Dafa disciples
in the United States. But after communication among Dafa disciples and many
articles on the web discussing the significance of bringing Jiang to justice,
Dafa disciples as a whole increased their understanding of the effort and hence
everyone participated. So Dafa disciples became more as one body, and this
dramatically speeded up the process of bringing Jiang to justice. Therefore, regarding clarifying the truth through TV, all of our Dafa
disciples should first eliminate concepts like being numb, having a wait-and-see
attitude, passively waiting and having a not-my-business attitude. We all should
realize the importance of the effort and treat it with righteous thoughts,
strengthen it and participate in the effort with righteous thoughts as well (not
everyone needs to be physically involved in the TV tapping). During the process,
we should form a united, perfect and whole body. We all have to do well the
three things that Master has asked us to do. At the same time, we should help
the TV tapping effort by sending forth righteous thoughts and eliminate
interference from the evil so that every region has a strong energy field full
of righteous thoughts. When one area has a TV tapping event, all of us should
support it with righteous thoughts and divine powers to get rid of locally
accumulated evil forces. Hence the evil will have neither any reason nor any
space to exist, and the best results of clearing the evil and saving people will
be reached. The pressure on local disciples will also be reduced. This is how the whole body can co-operate smoothly. Every Dafa disciple
should stand on the basis of validating Dafa and saving human beings, and
understand the significance and necessity of clarifying the truth through TV
from the perspective of the Fa. When everyone treats the effort as one's own
business and strengthens it with righteous thoughts, the false appearance of the
evil persecution will be exposed, the goal of validating Dafa and saving lives
will be achieved and the path of our Fa-validation will be forged. Just like the
"sue Jiang" effort, it was our hearts (wishes) that stimulated the progress.
External conditions were not the dominant factors. Co-operation with righteous
thoughts and the will of Fa-rectification Lords determine the celestial
phenomena (the fate and the outcome). So communication and exchange of our
understanding based on Fa principles about TV tapping is very important to Dafa
disciples. If we completely understand it based on the Fa, we can also clarify the truth
to the public. Since the evil has spread lies that our tapping into TV signals
to clarify the truth is illegal, we can expose the evil's lies and tell people
why we use TV to tell the truth. There have been many articles on Minghui and
Clearwisdom discussing whether tapping TV is legal, reasonable, righteous and
just. Our local practitioners also had open discussions and reached deep
understanding on this issue. We now pay more attention to such events and form a
very strong righteous field when they happen. Now we Dafa disciples from Mainland China are extremely concerned about the
situation in the cities of Xingtai and Shahe, and Yongnian area in Handan City.
We are sending forth righteous thoughts and eliminating the evil's persecution
together with disciples in the cities of Xingtai, and Shahe, and Yongnian area
in Handan City. In the meantime, we hope that more disciples in China and from
overseas will actively participate using various approaches like making phone
calls, writing letters and exposing the evil to the local people in order to
remove the evil more broadly and save sentient beings. When we do what we should do such as breaking old concepts, clarifying the
truth and co-operating and improving together as a whole, we will surely succeed
in validating Dafa and saving sentient beings.
