Distinguishing the White House South Lawn Incident from Its After-Effects
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in the United States
(Clearwisdom.net) After the shouting incident at the White House South
Lawn, fellow practitioners in the United States shared different understandings
regarding this act. Some said that this was the greatest, most glorious act they
had ever witnessed, especially since the Western media had to break its long
silence to report on Falun Gong, which they said proved that this act was on the
right track. This conforms to the principles in the ordinary world, hence, it is
okay to look at it this way. While cultivators are fundamentally different from
non-practitioners, we must look at other people and things with principles of
cultivation. - Good After-Effect Does Not Mean the First Step Was Perfect Personally, I believe we need to distinguish this incident itself from its
after-effects. There is no persecution in Master's Fa-rectification. This persecution is
being forced upon us by the old forces. Since it has happened, Master uses it to
see sentient beings' xinxing. Practitioners are being
persecuted because of omissions. Master asks us to expose the facts about the
persecution to awaken people's conscience, and therefore help them be saved. Therefore, since the persecution offers the opportunity to measure sentient
beings' xinxing, should we think that the old forces' arrangement is
right? If sentient beings develop sympathy after learning the tragic truth of
the persecution, should we think that the fellow practitioners who are being
tortured the most are contributing the most, and cultivating the best? The
answers are obvious. In the past seven years of Fa-rectification cultivation, many incidents were
not good at the beginning, but Master has used His grand mercy to lead us to
turn them into good, in order to save people with wisdom and rationality. I believe that this White House shouting incident is the same. As a Falun
Dafa practitioner and a journalist, being able to enter the White House and join
such a ceremony, she could have found a more rational and wiser way to make the
international community pay attention to the persecution of Falun Gong. Her
inappropriate behavior caused certain negative effects. But since this incident
has already happened, we should use it as an opportunity to clarify the
truth, further saving sentient beings to the fullest extent. Speaking from
a cultivation angle, we should know in our minds that we cannot judge things
appropriately from their after-effects, and these after-effects are formed
mutually by practitioners' righteous thoughts. - We Should Let the Imperfect Incident Achieve the Best After-Effect Currently the result has not met with the needs of saving sentient beings in
Fa-rectification, as the Western media has not widely reported on the removal of
organs from Falun Gong practitioners, and the urgent investigation of all
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) labor camps, prisons, hospitals and relevant
facilities is still pending. As long as the CCP still detains and tortures Falun
Dafa practitioners in its labor camps, prisons, hospitals and other facilities,
we should not let down our guards for a moment, or place too much weight on a
sudden incident or on individual actions. The standard of cultivating xinxing is measured with the Fa, which
will not change whether a certain incident's after-effects turn out to be good
or bad. No matter whether the after-effect is good or bad, we should all
continue to work hard, have the greatest impact, let the whole world know about
the tragedy of live removal of organs as soon as possible, and stop all labor
camps, prisons, and hospitals from detaining and torturing Falun Dafa
practitioners. Such a grand mission can never rely on one single practitioner or
her/his cultivation. In fact, more and more fellow practitioners have taken action to be
interviewed by media with their personal or organizations' names, using this
shocking news as talking points, and have received positive results in
clarifying the truth. If we are waiting for certain individuals to do the truth
clarification work, then we are relying on these individuals, and therefore the
requirement on these individuals' cultivation status is very high, and the old
forces will easily find gaps in these practitioners.
