Written by a Dafa practitioner in Canada

After reading the Minghui/Clearwisdom report on August 8, 2005 about "No. 1 Section of Fushun City Police Department Persecuted Many Falun Gong Practitioners to Death or to Become Paralyzed," I was in a very somber mood. The evilness in the Fushun area is just too rampant. The No. 1 Section of the Fushun City police department unscrupulously went to different areas to arrest practitioners and was rampant to the extreme. Any manifestation among everyday people is related to Dafa practitioners' cultivation. As practitioners from the Fushun area, do all local practitioners also need to deeply reflect on this as one body?

In the past six years, overseas practitioners have paid attention to this persecution in Mainland China and our focus has been to help relieve the evil's persecution of practitioners there. For a long time, we have kept in contact and have been sharing with Mainland practitioners in various ways, including those brainwashed practitioners. At the same time, we clarify the truth to the everyday people in Mainland China. Thus we have a better understanding of the overall situation in Mainland China, and I would therefore like to share some of my understandings with you.

The wildness of the evil in any area is directly related to our overall cultivation state. The process of Dafa practitioners validating Dafa is to save everyday people, not to endure the persecution. As to the persecution of individual practitioners, it includes the following situations: 1. Not enough Fa-study; 2. Passive endurance; 3. Our own karma; 4. The attachment of fear. It is not enough to just have the thought to firmly cultivate Dafa when faced with the evil. To send forth righteous thoughts to suffocate the evil is not just to relieve the individual's suffering, but to validate Dafa, save sentient beings, and also safeguard Dafa's dignity.

During the whole cultivation process, Master Li has always given us timely instructions. How can we manifest the supernormal ability of cultivators when faced with the evil's persecution? My understanding is that Master Li has given us the magic weapons for cultivation and supernatural instruments to suffocate the evil in the article Stop the Evil Acts with Righteous Thoughts, so it is all up to us on how we can use them. The wildness of the evil is not an issue of our individual endurance. That endurance doesn't give any hope to sentient beings, nor can everyday people see the righteous power, and this directly prevents them from understanding Dafa's truth and thus being saved. Therefore, every step we take may determine the life and death of many sentient beings.

Cultivation is a process for gradual improvement and regular solid Fa-study is the foundation; otherwise, we won't be able to have righteous thoughts at the critical time. Cultivation is very serious, and before the evil beings are completely eliminated, their eyes covetously and constantly watch us, and they might use any attachment of ours to intensify the persecution. If we can study the Fa well, not only will it help us to be protected and to avoid personal persecution, but at the same time, we can fulfill our prehistoric pledge to assist Master Li in the Fa-rectification and in saving sentient beings.

During this persecution, we see how the evil is scared by the righteous thoughts and righteous actions of so many Dafa practitioners. This comes from these practitioners' solid foundation of Fa-study and righteous belief in Master Li, Dafa and righteous thoughts. Cultivation is an empty word if practitioners deviate from the Fa. It is critical to study the Fa well and it is always an urgent matter at any time to study the Fa well.

When one Dafa practitioner loses his or her physical body, what is lost is not just an ordinary being, but layers upon layers of sentient beings at different levels. This is because after losing the physical body, practitioners cannot continue cultivating in the human world and saving more sentient beings. Wake up, fellow practitioners! It is time that we should become clear-minded. Let us study the Fa well and pick things up, and the evil will disappear even without being actively eliminated.

All of Master Li's teachings guide our cultivation and can also rectify any potential problem in our cultivation. Therefore, no matter how busy we are, we need to make the best use of our time to study the Fa more. Besides Zhuan Falun, we need to study well and remember all of the articles that Master Li has published. When we have a calm mind, during the process of understanding the surface meaning of the words in Dafa books, the inner meanings of Dafa will be gradually shown to us.
