"Quit the Party to Save Oneself" or "Quit to Cause the CCP to Collapse"

By a Falun Dafa practitioner from China

(Clearwisdom.net) Not long after the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party were published, I saw the phrases practitioners were using to convince people to quit: "Quit the Party to Save Oneself" and "Quit to Cause the CCP to Collapse." I feel the former is according to the Fa, but not the latter. Whatever we cultivators do must be based on the Fa.

Historically, it is inevitable that the heavens will eliminate the CCP. Teacher said in "Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital":

"'If the heavens want to have something change, nobody can stop it.' (Applause) Then how about you, that puny wicked party? What does it amount to? If Dafa disciples' cultivation were to end today, if just this many people were to be saved--if the number of the world's people to be saved was just this many--and everything were to end at this point, it would take less than a day for the evil party to disintegrate. (Applause) That's because the purpose of its existence, the reason history created it in the first place, and the process of sustaining it all have been for the sake of Dafa disciples validating the Fa today. That is what the old forces arranged. When it's no longer of any use, why would it be kept? It is nothing in the universe."

The Nine Commentaries is the weapon to destroy the evil, and it is an integral part of truth clarification. The Nine Commentaries strip the cover off of the Party and let everyone in the world see its true nature. The Nine Commentaries enable the deeply poisoned Chinese people to clearly recognize the Party for what it is and to think for themselves: "Get out from under the control of the evil specter. Quit the Party, the Group, and the League, and get rid of the mark of the beast. Don't be a pawn, don't sustain it, and don't be a sacrificial lamb when even heaven wants to eliminate it."

Only the Nine Commentaries clearly explains the Party. Dafa practitioners should persuade people to quit the party, the group, and the league and to return to having a conscience and being kindhearted. That is the compassion of cultivators, particularly when it is carried out in such an evil environment. Whether people want to quit the Party and its affiliated organizations and break away from its control is up to them, as that has very little to do with heaven wanting to eliminate the CCP. In other words, heaven will eliminate the CCP, regardless of whether people want to quit or not. The CCP will be destroyed!

However, quitting the CCP to cause it to collapse is an entirely different matter. That is basing the collapse of the CCP on whether or not people quit the Party. This is quite different from "Heaven wants to eliminate the Party." What ordinary people do has nothing to do with cultivators; ordinary people do not succeed just because they want to. When heaven wants it, it will be done. Cultivators can speak for gods with their permission. To persuade people to withdraw from the Party is to bring gods' boundless mercy to sentient beings and to save them. This is their own affair, because they are choosing their own future and they want to save themselves.

Quitting the Party to cause it to collapse is an ordinary person's goal, and it carries impure notions which are what cultivators want to get rid of. Talking about quitting the Party to cause its collapse can be easily misunderstood and thus affect the salvation of sentient beings. It can easily become a loophole for the evil specter and result in unnecessary interference.

This is only my personal understanding. If there is anything inappropriate, please kindly point it out.
