Suggestions for Rescuing Detained Practitioners Through Determined Efforts
By a practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, a practitioner from our local area who was
sentenced to eight years in prison was released thanks to the rescue efforts of
local practitioners and his family members. This is a great step forward for
rescuing detained practitioners, and shows the strength of practitioners acting
as one body by coordinating efforts and maintaining unwavering righteous
thoughts and righteous actions. In order to dissolve the evils' interference and
damage, have charges dropped, and unconditionally release the detained
practitioners, I will share these experiences and our shortcomings, and propose
the following suggestions for your reference. Please kindly point out any
unrighteous points. We must first eliminate any deformed notions within ourselves and form strong
righteous thoughts in all practitioners. Because Fa-rectification is happening
for the first time in history, we have no examples to follow, and practitioners
hold many deformed notions enforced by the old forces. Some believe in a false
reality, thinking "It's impossible to get released before the term is up,"
"There's no attorney that would appear in court to defend us," "Nothing can be
done without spending money," "It's impossible to be released without writing
the guarantee letter," etc. Those notions hinder our righteous thoughts and
righteous actions, and obstruct our actions to rescue more detained
practitioners. We have to study the Fa [great law, universal principle]
more diligently, know the Fa from within the Fa, break those postnatally-acquired
notions that influence us in subtle ways that we don't always recognize, and
form stronger righteous thoughts among practitioners. Teacher said: "Starting from each person, let's truly make our environment a very
righteous one, and then all the unrighteous factors will dissolve, and all
the students who haven't conducted themselves well will see where they fall
short, and it will make them do better." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004
Chicago Conference"). We have to be aware that we are creating the future and it really depends on
us. We should completely deny the evils' arrangements, rescue all the detained
practitioners as soon as possible, and save more and more sentient beings. The next step is to make better use of time to do more rescue work, which is
also an opportunity to clarify the truth and save sentient beings. Some
practitioners separate the truth-clarifying work from the rescue work, and some
treat it as an ordinary thing in human society, irrelevant to their cultivation,
and ignore it, feeling like they can't do anything about it. In this passive,
sluggish environment, we have missed many chances to rescue detained
practitioners. Every single particle of us has capabilities. We can take the
initiative to be more active in rescuing detained practitioners according to our
conditions. Even in ordinary society, they are investigating cases and punishing
government officials who've taken advantage of their power to violate human
rights and mistreated detained practitioners. We should take this opportunity to
report all practitioners' torture cases. Every practitioner could report on the
torture he or she faced, or the mistreatment of other practitioners, including
those who have been persecuted to death. We should persistently use all legal
means and resources available in ordinary society to our advantage. We must
break through the incorrect thoughts such as "This is going to surface like
ordinary human things and the officials will protect each other." (Of course we
should maintain the impression of doing things on the surface, but we should not
be fooled by false phenomenon, thereby letting the old forces take advantage and
make us less effective in eliminating the evil forces.) Master has mentioned
many times that Fa-rectification is at the final, final stage. We should
eliminate the last evils in the other dimensions and save more sentient beings
that should be saved. This is the process of Fa-rectification. Practitioners
should realize this situation and should do all kinds of Dafa work well. The
detained practitioners in Harbin prison together reported the murder and torture
of practitioners, and it has been very effective. Fearing an investigation,
prison officials secretly transferred all the detained practitioners to Daqing,
Mudanjiang, and Tailai. Those practitioners continued to expose the persecution
facts to the public. We should assist them by forwarding their reports to all
levels of public office. At the same time, we should also let ordinary people
know the facts of the persecution so that they can be saved. The third thing is to assist the detained practitioners' family members in
requesting the release of practitioners. Some family members of the detained
practitioners do not know the persecution facts, and are still deceived by the
evils' lies. We have to take all kinds of measures to let them know the facts of
the persecution and awaken their enlightened side and their righteous thoughts,
to help them actively stand up, eliminate the evils' control, distinguish right
from wrong, and stop dreaming that the corrupt officials will release the
detained practitioners of their own accord. The practitioners recently
transferred from Harbin prison to Daqing prison especially requested this. We
hope their families will hear this message. The fourth step is to urge practitioners working within police stations,
public offices, legal department jurisdictions, and government departments to
take advantage of their work situations to provide more detailed and updated
information on the local officers and corrupt officials who have persecuted
Falun Dafa practitioners. This makes it easier for other practitioners to report
and clarify the truth. Falun Dafa practitioners are one whole body, and everyone has his own
cultivation path. Everyone has his own Dafa work. Let us treat the Fa as our
teacher and together do well the three things requested by our Master, thereby
doing our best in the rescue work.
