Awakening from Numbness
By a practitioner from Shanxi Province
(Clearwisdom.net) I delivered a copy of "Minghui Weekly"
to a fellow practitioner. After this fellow practitioner read it, he said,
"There are again a few fellow practitioners who are persecuted in this
week's issue. There were more in last week's." I said, "Have you sent
forth righteous thoughts to dissolve the evil that has persecuted fellow
practitioners?" He said, "No." I said, "The evil has
persecuted so many of our fellow practitioners to death. Do you think that it is
enough for you just to 'read the news'?" He became speechless. Recently, I saw the same kind of numbness when I was sharing with other
fellow practitioners. I felt shaken afterward. The wicked Chinese Communist
Party has persecuted Falun Dafa, persecuted Falun Dafa practitioners, poisoned
the sentient beings and the world's people, and slandered Master and Falun Dafa
for seven years. Some of our fellow practitioners haven't yet been awakened. I
want to share my understanding with these fellow practitioners. Let us ask ourselves. When we heard that the prison guards of Masanjia Forced
Labor Camp threw eighteen female Falun Dafa practitioners into a cell with male
prisoners, did we send righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil? Did we send
righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil after the staged Tiananmen
self-immolation happened? Did we send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the
evil after we read that our fellow female practitioners were raped and sexually
assaulted? Did we keep sending righteous thoughts after we knew that the wicked
Chinese Communist Party harvested organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners?
Did we send righteous thoughts to strengthen fellow practitioners' righteous
belief and righteous enlightenment in Master and Falun Dafa after we read fellow
practitioners' solemn declarations? I think we should send forth strong righteous thoughts right away to
eliminate the persecution and dissolve the evil when we see that it is
persecuting Falun Dafa practitioners and destroying Falun Dafa material
production sites. We should use our righteous thoughts to strengthen our fellow
practitioners when we see that they are persecuted in prisons for a long time.
We should use our righteous thoughts to eradicate the persecution that the old
forces imposed on our Falun Dafa practitioners. I understand that it is a manifestation of our "numb" state if we
still can't send righteous thoughts promptly, soberly, and seriously. It is our
ambivalent attitudes that foster the evil to continue persecuting Falun Dafa and
Falun Dafa practitioners, and to poison the sentient beings and the world's
people. Isn't being "numb" itself committing crimes and being
irresponsible? I also found a problem when I was sharing with some fellow practitioners.
That is, some fellow practitioners often miss the pre-set time for sending forth
righteous thoughts and give up sending forth righteous thoughts after they miss
it. They wait for the next time to send righteous thoughts, but they miss the
time again. I think we should strive to make it up if we miss the pre-set time
to send forth righteous thoughts. Meanwhile, we must clear up those evil beings
and factors that interfere with our sending forth righteous thoughts so as to
guarantee our sending forth righteous thoughts at the pre-set times. We should
consider extending the time for sending forth righteous thoughts if the
environment and the situation allow us to. January 19, 2007
