The Importance of Clarifying the Truth to Fellow Practitioners
By a Dafa practitioner in Southeast Asia
(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners in many countries around
the world are holding anti-torture exhibitions, which are very effective in
letting many people learn the truth about Falun Dafa and the persecution. People
are shocked beyond belief that something like this could take place as our
modern civilization enters the twenty-first century. Many practitioners here in Malaysia have asked me: "Is it true?" I
was surprised to find that many fellow practitioners really do not know the
truth themselves. We clarify the truth to people every day, but we neglect to
clarify the truth to fellow practitioners. This has caused a kind of resistance
to those who are busy clarifying the truth. They might be asked: "Is what
you do political? Is it interfering with other countries' internal affairs?
Isn't it breaking laws?" Since the crackdown of Falun Gong began in 1999, Jiang Zemin and his
accomplices have started to interfere with the internal affairs of every country
all over the world. They have spread rumors and denigrated Falun Gong all over
the world through overseas embassies and consulates, TV, radio, newspaper, etc.,
poisoning people all over the world. Jiang's tyranny even reaches overseas, as shown by the recent shooting in South Africa, and practitioners in many
countries being spied on and beaten. Practitioners in China are still tortured to death today, which of course
violates basic human rights. To ensure a person's human rights does not
interfere with internal affairs, nor is it political. When practitioners have discussions, we should allow other practitioners to
express their thoughts. Often, one who asks such questions will face accusations
and verbal attack from other practitioners, thereby frightening the practitioner
from saying any more. However, he is still not clear, so he remains unable to do
what a Dafa practitioner should do. This results in such a situation where we do
not improve as a whole. We have both Teacher and the Fa. I think we should calm down and discuss
these questions. Even if someone has negative opinions, we should also allow him
to voice them. Only when the questions are raised, can we have a discussion,
clarify the truth, improve our understanding, and upgrade our Xinxing [mind
nature, moral character]. Teacher has said: "Different levels have
different Fa." (Zhuan Falun) We must enable everyone to learn the
truth, and thereby upgrade their Xinxing. Naturally, everyone will have their
own opinion and way of doing things. This way, they can do the three things well
that Teacher has asked us to do.
