(Clearwisdom.net) Six practitioners in our area were arrested between August 1st and 4th. During this time, fellow practitioners had many different thoughts. Some practitioners thought that, regardless of what loopholes our fellow practitioners might have, the evil has no right to persecute our practitioners. We should deny all of the old forces' arrangements and send forth righteous thoughts at a close proximity to eliminate all the evil behind the arrest and rotten ghosts in other dimensions, to strengthen fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and help them get out immediately. Some thought that, if such a scale of arrests happened at the current Fa-rectification state, our fellow practitioners must have loopholes that the evil took advantage of. Some thought that sending forth righteous thoughts from a close distance was necessary, but they were not actively involved. Some thought that sending forth righteous thoughts from home would have no different effect than doing the same at a close proximity. Some did not treat the things that happened to fellow practitioners as their own things. Some were insensitive and felt it had nothing to do with them, or that there was nothing they could do to help. Through studying the Fa, fellow practitioners quickly united and acted as one body. We published an article on the Minghui website to expose the persecution; sent forth righteous thought at a close distance; completely denied the so-called "legislation procedure" of the evil Party; strengthened fellow practitioners' righteous thoughts and righteous actions to get out of there. At the same time, as a part of cooperating as a whole, we cooperated with our fellow practitioners in jail and eliminated the evil with our righteous thoughts.

On the morning of August 5, when fellow practitioners discussed the issue, a practitioner suggested sending forth righteous thoughts at close proximity to the detention center. Another practitioner immediately agreed and said, "We should do this without delay. Starting from today, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., sending righteous thoughts near the detention center will be part of our cultivation." That evening there were six practitioners who went close to the detention center and intensively sent forth righteous thoughts from different directions. Some practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts in the morning and some sent forth righteous thoughts every hour on the hour. Some practitioners wrote articles and sent them to the Minghui website to expose the evil persecution. Some communicated with the family members of the arrested fellow practitioners to clarify the truth and to encourage them to reason with the police.

Since we cooperated and improved as a whole, we truly denied the old forces' arrangements. With the help of compassionate Master and the righteous thoughts and righteous actions of fellow practitioners, on August 6, 7 and 8, three practitioners peacefully came out of the detention center one after another and returned home. Just now, news came that another practitioner walked out of the detention center. Even so, we still cannot be complacent because there are still some practitioners in the detention center and other fellow practitioners in forced labor camps and jails. Those fellow practitioners need us to strengthen their righteous thoughts and help them get out soon.

Master said in "My Version of a 'Stick Wake-up,'"

"When they get out, how will you bear to face them? What have you done for them?"

In fact, although we have cooperated well on this event of rescuing practitioners, we still need to improve our understanding. We should truly do it from the bottom of our hearts to rescue our fellow practitioners and to dissolve all arrangements by the old forces. We should keep sending forth righteous thoughts and not give up until we eliminate all the evil. We must not think that we cannot help much if the arrested fellow practitioner does not have righteous thoughts. Do not feel disappointed when there is no result. Otherwise, not only will we fail to help strengthen fellow practitioner's righteous thoughts, but we also may let the evil take advantage of our loophole without noticing and therefore bring negative impact to jailed fellow practitioners. Do not complain or look outward when any problem occurs. A fellow practitioner once said, "Regardless of what state of mind the practitioners in jail have, the practitioners outside should use divine thoughts and righteous thoughts to rescue them." We should always keep powerful righteous thoughts.

We should improve together and keep sending righteous thoughts persistently, while at the same time taking concrete actions. Master said in "Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital,"

"When Dafa disciples do things together, you should really cooperate well with each other. The changes in the overall state of things have been large. You have seen that many things still face obstacles, but once all of those obstacles are done away with, this affair will end."

Let us break those obstacles, eliminate the evil and dissolve them. Our fellow practitioners will be rescued one by one.

During the process of rescuing fellow practitioners with righteous thoughts, three fellow practitioners realized that there were many fellow practitioners who were still detained in forced labor camps. They decided to drive to a forced labor camp located about 100 km away and send forth righteous thoughts from a close distance. On August 16, five practitioners drove there and sent forth righteous thoughts. The trip there and back took us about six hours. In this righteous action of eliminating the evil, with the help of our compassionate Master, we smoothly finished what we wanted to do.

On the way back we sent forth righteous thoughts every hour and shared our experiences. Everyone felt very inspired. I shed tears for Master's arranging everything for us. Thank you Master, we will try to do better in the future. A fellow practitioner came to the understanding that it is selfish if we only try to rescue local fellow practitioners. Those practitioners whose situations are better should go to the labor camps or prisons where many practitioners are held and send forth righteous thoughts at close proximity to help to end the detention of our fellow practitioners. Let us form a large scale group and break the regional boundaries to form an indestructible one-body.

In fact, every rescue action is a process for us to get rid of self-interest and fear. The essence of insensitiveness is selfishness and comfort. One feels it doesn't touch oneself and is not related to oneself, therefore one drifts along and does not feel the urgency to rescue fellow practitioners. Master said in "Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference" (in 2002),

"The next person's things are your things, and your things are his things."

Do we truly understand these principles?

Moreover, some practitioners believe those who have loopholes are the ones who suffer persecution. Yes, those practitioners may have loopholes, but that cannot become excuses for the evil to detain and persecute our fellow practitioners. Even Master does not acknowledge this persecution. We should try even harder to help those fellow practitioners who have loopholes to come back to the Fa-rectification's mighty torrent and rectify themselves in the Fa. It is only the Fa that can change us.

Some practitioners are afraid to contact those fellow practitioners who suffered persecution. They have "doubts" about them, which in turn made those practitioners more "fearful" and unable to quickly return to the Fa-rectification. They may be left behind. We should not create a separation among ourselves, as this would be taking the path arranged by the old forces.

There is another situation. Those who haven't done well during the persecution, or even did something that absolutely disqualifies them as a Dafa disciple, need our help even more. We should be more forgiving and help them understand the Fa principles so that they can soon come back to the Fa-rectification and catch up with the Fa-rectification progress.

Let us act as one-body. I'd like to quote Master's words to encourage fellow practitioners,

"I hope everyone will do better and better at the end. Be sure not to become lax. You must not slack off, and you must not become apathetic." ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles")

Here I am only sharing our group's understanding on this issue with fellow practitioners. I hope we can improve together and cooperate well to rescue fellow practitioners and form one body.

In this sharing, I stressed the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts. This is just one aspect of rescuing fellow practitioners. At the same time, we should also expose the local evil conduct and clarify the truth to local people. While minding security issues and with wisdom and reason, let us rescue fellow practitioners using all of our strengths and abilities.
