(Clearwisdom.net) The fact that the Chinese Communist Party harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners has been exposed by witnesses for more than one month. This should have been an excellent chance for us to expose the CCP's persecution. However, we did not seize the opportunity and missed the best chance to clarify the truth and save sentient beings. This is a lesson, and all of us need to search inward for our shortcomings.

We all agree that we should do the three things well that Master has told us to do, including studying the Fa, sending forth righteous thoughts, and clarifying the truth, in order to catch up with the Fa rectification process. Have we really studied the Fa well? Have we really caught up with the Fa rectification process? The exposure of the CCP harvesting live organs from Falun Gong practitioners must have its reasons and purpose. Currently, the existence of human society is for Fa rectification, and for Falun Gong practitioners to clarify the truth and save people. However, after the information was disclosed, did we really seize the opportunity to clarify the truth and save people?

Some practitioners viewed the truthfulness of the news with their notions, and did nothing about it initially. After seeing that more facts were disclosed, they started to move. What we cultivate is "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." Therefore, we need to speak truthfully while clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. However, since the CCP did everything possible to hide the persecution information, we should not wait for all the facts to be validated before proceeding to move. Otherwise, more Falun Gong practitioners will be murdered and more people will lose the opportunity to understand the truth. Of course, we need to speak truthfully. When the statements of the witnesses are revealed to governments, media, organizations, and people, we really are "speaking truthfully." In addition, requesting them to investigate the persecution facts also follows the principle of truthfulness.

When presenting the statements of witnesses to them, we should also explain the persecution facts of what the CCP has done in labor camps and prisons over the entire country during the past seven years, as well as the base nature of the CCP, which always hides the truth. This gives them the opportunity to understand why the words of the witnesses are credible and worthy of investigation. Moreover, we should let them know the fact that this does not involve just individual cases. It is an example of a huge, evil persecution. Only when the persecution against Falun Gong is completely stopped, will such horrible events cease to occur again.

Therefore, if we could clarify the truth as soon as the information was disclosed, more people could understand the truth, do whatever they should do, and better position themselves. However, after the facts were disclosed, we spent a lot of time discussing the truthfulness of the news and missed opportunities to clarify the truth.

More seriously, when most of the practitioners sensed that we should clarify the truth to governments and media, a chunk of time had passed already. When we initially requested governments, organizations, and media to investigate the event at the specific location, we neglected to anticipate that Jiang and Luo's group would completely transfer the imprisoned practitioners to other locations within those three weeks. Therefore, our requests seemed blind and purposeless. The CCP is good at telling lies and deceiving people. It is our responsibility to remind people of this. By asking governments, organizations, and media to investigate the incident at the specific location after missing the opportunity that heaven gave us, we actually pushed them into the setup of the CCP. This is against the principle of truthfulness and against the meaning for our clarifying the truth.

What we should do now is to tell the governments and media that the CCP has already had enough time to hide the evidence of the crimes and create a false image, in order to deceive the world and turn the spotlight away from the truth. Under this situation, responsible investigators should enter all the labor camps and prisons where Falun Gong practitioners are currently imprisoned and persecuted, instead of just that one location, which has been altered and completely re-modeled. Because the locations and facilities where Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted have existed for such a long time and are so widespread throughout China, live organ harvesting could exist anywhere. These are the locations where the CCP transferred the witnesses and evidence of their crimes. In addition, we should immediately form our own investigation organization, clearly define the targets for investigation, and communicate with western governments and media, in order to prevent them from being deceived by the CCP, and cause the CCP to be afraid of illegally imprisoning Falun Gong practitioners in their labor camps and jails.

However, many practitioners did not act until the information had been disclosed for a long time. In addition, some practitioners became attached to ordinary people's feelings of sorrow about the victims and felt pessimistic and passive. If practitioners had more thoroughly clarified the truth during these past seven years to the governments and media, so that they understood the deceitfulness of the CCP, a more intense investigation of the labor camps and jails could have taken place. However, the CCP took advantage of their loopholes, created a false image, and wrongly directed the focus of the entire world away from the truth of the persecution.

We should learn the lessons from this event to look inward and try to do our best next time. I think the key issue is to study the Fa well and catch up with the Fa rectification process. Therefore, we should treat everything during Fa rectification from the point of view of how to better cultivate during the Fa rectification period and how to save more people. After one thing happens, we really should think about how to expose the persecution of the CCP, how to stop the persecution, and how to better clarify the truth to people and save them. Under the current condition, we should think about the losses because of our initial irresponsiveness. I think that we should disclose the fact that the CCP destroyed the evidence of their crimes and is deceiving the whole world, and additionally that the CCP has a long history of deception. Also, we should request an investigation into all the crimes over the past 7 years throughout China, and invite governments and organizations to join our investigation organization, supporting us ethically, technically, and legally. Of course, I hope that all practitioners, especially the practitioners outside of China, will use the Minghui website so that they can better discuss the current events on the basis of the Fa, and catch up with Master's Fa rectification process.
