Seize the Opportunity and Clarify the Truth with More Impact
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in the U.S.
(Clearwisdom.net) The incident on the south lawn of the White House has
shocked society. It has also stirred up many discussions among practitioners.
Several articles by practitioners have explored the cultivation issues involved.
At the same time, many practitioners have also realized that this incident has
become a hot topic for the media, as people are asking a lot of questions. This
has created a good opportunity and is a turning point, as people are more
willing to listen to the truth. We Must Have a Sense of Urgency Our responsibility to expose the evil, clarify the truth and save
sentient beings is significant and demanding. We must seize the moment and make
good use of this opportunity, because it doesn't happen every day. When an
opportunity is missed, it doesn't happen again. For instance, after the revelation of organ removal from live Falun Gong
practitioners at the secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, many practitioners
focused their attention on finding out whether it was true or not. Our responses
and reactions were slow, and we missed the best moment to clarify the truth.
Such problems also occurred after the publication of Nine Commentaries
on the Communist Party. Some practitioners were confused, and were
stuck on the question of "whether we were getting political." This time we must have a sense of urgency. We must seize the opportunity and
clarify the truth to expose the persecution comprehensively. Of course, we
aren't clarifying the truth to enhance the reputation of any particular
practitioner. Instead, people should be made aware and pay attention to the
persecution. We should use this opportunity to reveal the CCP's crime of
removing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and ask people from all
walks of life to support the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of
Falun Gong in China" (CIPFG), and to investigate all labor camps, prisons,
secret concentration camps and associated facilities in China which imprison
Falun Gong practitioners. One key point is that we must use this opportunity to turn people's focus
from a particular person or event to the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP,
and we shouldn't rely on ordinary people. This requires that every practitioner
be clear on the Fa, and participate voluntarily and actively. We Must do it Rationally and with Wisdom In the course of clarifying the truth there are always cultivation factors to
help us eliminate our human attachments and notions. If we do things with
sentimentality we won't be able to do things well, and we could easily create
negative effects. Let's remember Teacher's instructions, "Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom,
spread the Fa and save people with mercy--this is establishing the mighty
virtue of an Enlightened Being." ("Rationality" from Essentials
for Further Advancement II) April 24, 2006
