Two Points to Share on Saving People Who Are Deluded by the "Party's Culture"

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Many contemporary Chinese are profoundly fearful of the Communist Party, especially those who went through the Cultural Revolution. Even some young people hold extreme views as a result of the education by the Party. In their minds, saying something bad about the Communist Party is akin to being against China and against Chinese society. They also consider Western democratic countries to be vicious, anti-China countries. It is indeed very difficult to clarify the truth to these people. However, no matter how hard it is, we need to do it well. Here I would like to share two points regarding the issue of clarifying the truth to people who have been deluded by the Party's culture.

First, we need to get rid of our human attachments and clarify the truth with a pure heart in order to save those people who have been so profoundly influenced by the Communist "Party Culture." We need to explain the true nature of the Communist Party to these people. When people ask if we are going to overthrow the government or if we are getting into politics, the answer is "no" for both questions. For those people who are not facing the immediate danger of being eliminated as a result of belonging to the Party, we do not need to clarify the truth to them by talking about the evil nature of the Communist Party. We need to remain clear on what our fundamental goal is - saving sentient beings.

I often say to friends that the things we do are really for their well-being. When some practitioners are saying certain things about the Party, they are worrying that people might misunderstand Falun Dafa. Actually, this is just our own human notions at work. If we can be very clear fundamentally on what our purpose is, and do things with a pure heart, it is easier to move people when we clarify the truth. In fact, a lot of us practitioners have many notions in this regard. For example, when some practitioners are saying things about the Party, they get very emotional, even to the point of making some people wonder if we are getting political.

Our purpose is to save sentient beings, not to take over someone's worldly power. Is there any practitioner who is interested in that kind of power? If we can really be this pure in our minds and hearts, we can save more sentient beings!

Secondly, we need to send forth righteous thoughts more, to eliminate the vicious elements of the Party that exist in other dimensions. Many people are lost in delusion precisely because of the Party's culture. Actually, it is these vicious elements that trap them in the maze. Therefore, prior to, or during the process of truth-clarification, we need to send forth righteous thoughts more in order to eliminate those elements in other dimensions. Recently, I had a strong sense of those elements interfering with truth clarification. As a result, some people hold negative attitudes and are unwilling to listen. However, when we talk to them after truly cleaning up other dimensions with strong righteous thoughts, it seems as if people have just awakened from a dream. I have encountered this situation before. Therefore, we need to pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts. Solve those fundamental problems first in other dimensions, and in this way, we can clarify the truth more effectively.

The above are my limited understandings. Let us walk the final steps of Fa-rectification well. No matter how deeply a person is affected by the Party culture, we need to provide them with opportunities so that they can choose their own future.
