Believing in Teacher and Dafa with Every Single Thought

By Fangxing, a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net)

As Falun Dafa practitioners, if we fail to follow the path arranged by Teacher in Fa-rectification, we will inevitably place ourselves on the path arranged by the old forces. To follow the path arranged by Teacher, we must have a firm belief in Teacher and Dafa and negate the arrangements of the old forces. The old forces have made detailed arrangements for us, and this is why we are confronted with disturbance from them even in our every single thought when we follow the requirements of Dafa and Fa-rectification to validate the Fa, save sentient beings and oppose the persecution.

The head of my work unit collected information about my clarifying the truth to people and sent it to the 610 Office of our city. Although I had clarified the truth to him many times, he nonetheless cooperated with the 610 officials and police officers to send me to a brainwashing center. With the compassionate care of Teacher, I broke out of the brainwashing center.

However, to try to force me to give up Falun Gong, my boss refused to let me have a job. I realized that it was persecution imposed on me by the old forces, which I definitely should not acknowledge. However, at the time, an idea came to me to take refuge in another city. Through studying the Fa, I realized that I was trying to escape, which was also arranged by the old forces. The way arranged by Teacher is the most righteous. It is the path that all righteous gods should follow and the reference for the future. How could I acknowledge the persecution by the evil? Isn't the intention to escape an acknowledgment of the arrangement made by the old forces? I should negate it firmly.

As a cultivator, nothing happens to us by chance, and we must treat everything in the way of a cultivator. I then discussed the situation with a fellow practitioner. We decided to send forth righteous thoughts against the evil elements that were manipulating the head of my work unit. In the meantime, I wrote out the facts about the persecution in my work unit and exposed it to all staff members.

When I decided to do that, it came to me that I might be reported to the police and persecuted. I even had a dream that I was arrested and sent to a brainwashing center. I calmed myself down and studied the Fa. I realized that the old forces were trying to strengthen my fear to stop me, which I should not give in to.

Teacher said:

"The actions they are now adopting in the persecution of Dafa and its students are extremely evil and shameful, and they fear these will be exposed. You must let the world's people know about their evilness--this is saving people, as well." ("Rationality," Essentials for Further Advancement II)

I came to understand that the evil fears the exposure of their evil acts. I found the chance to paste what I had written on the door to the offices in my work unit. It was entitled "My Grievance" and ended with the sentence: "The future of all lives is determined by their attitude toward Falun Gong. Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil."

Not long afterwards, the section head told me that I could go back to work. Later, a colleague congratulated me: "Good!" I knew he was not praising me personally but was demonstrating the righteous attitude of the public toward Dafa. Only through believing in Teacher and Dafa in every single thought can we do better in saving sentient beings.
