Holistic Omissions Are Related To the Thoughts of Each and Every One of Us

By a Dafa practitioner in Tangshan, Hebei Province

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently there have been three major events that have interfered with Dafa's rapid development. This is definitely something related to Dafa practitioners, as a whole, having problems. We should pay more attention to them. The following are the three events:

1. An American citizen published a book titled "The Man Who Changed China - The Life and Legacy of Jiang ...," which glorifies the evil Jiang. I briefly read the book and felt it was unlikely that it was written by a non-Chinese. In the book the manner of conceptualization and the variation in reasoning show the author's perfect command of the CCP's delicacy or execution of propaganda, which was definitely a work of the CCP.

2. The contract of New Tang Dynasty TV's satellite broadcasting will be terminated by a European company, which makes it impossible to transmit its truth clarifying programs through satellite to European and Asian areas.

3. The United States of America failed to raise the resolution of the CCP's human rights issue.

My analysis of the first event: We had human emotions about or in reaction to Jiang and we treated him as a person, and we treated the persecution as that of Jiang against Dafa practitioners. We still held the notion of people persecuting people and did not break through or away from our human notions. Thus our emotion and resentment came out. This kind of emotion was the manifestation of our human notions, which is like the behavior of non-practitioners. In fact, he is just a puppet in our dimension and is controlled by the evil from behind. Jiang is really nobody.

The analysis of the second event: In viewing Dafa practitioners in Mainland China as a whole, I discovered an important issue, which is that they treated the affair of the "New Tang Dynasty TV" as a matter for practitioners outside China. They did not relate it to themselves. They thought they needed only to watch or rebroadcast the programs. They did not realize that we are an inseparable entity. Moreover, we should maintain and protect any factors that are good for Dafa; and we did not view this factor as part of our own duty, feeling it was the business of those outside China. Our understanding stayed at a human level, and this was common among all the practitioners. This was a huge omission. Fellow practitioners, please take a look at yourselves, We, too, have a portion of responsibility for this issue.

Finally, the analysis of the third event. There are still some practitioners who are attached to their personal power or to the power of certain organization or countries. This gave the old forces an opportunity for interference and persecution, and this led to a huge loss.

The above three events have a common characteristic, which is that human attachments and/or human notions still remain. We did not view the problem from a high level or Fa perspective, and we did not have common understanding of the issue.

This is my personal understanding. I hope fellow practitioners can point out any mistakes.
