A Few Words: Talking about "Risking Life" By a practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) Sometimes experiences sharing articles written by
practitioners contain words or sentences about how practitioners who produce
truth-clarifying materials have ignored danger and risked their
lives. I have some personal opinions about this that I would like to share, as I
don't know whether they are right or wrong. I understood that the three things Dafa disciples do are mainly
for stopping the persecution and rescuing sentient beings. Everyone knows that
these things are the most righteous and the best things to do. But during the
past eight years, Dafa disciples have encountered the severe persecution due to
arrangements that the old forces have imposed on us. This type of persecution is
wrong, and Master does not acknowledge it. Practitioners should also completely
deny it. But do our minds actually hold correct thoughts at all times? I also
heard some similar discussions from fellow practitioners. They think that those
practitioners who are in charge of producing truth clarification materials are
working hard, and it is not easy. Their tone of voice and facial expressions
revealed a trace of human admiration and envy toward those practitioners. We are all Master's disciples, and everyone is trying their best to validate
Dafa and rescue people. There should not be any difference in terms of who does
more or less, or who does the difficult jobs or the easy ones. The difference is
simply in how much effort each person puts in, how much devotion one has, and
how well they did on their tasks. I think that Master knows, and we know as
well. We are all cultivators. As we rescue sentient beings in the human world we
need to continue eliminating all kinds of human notions and attachments. But if everyone has such thoughts, that fellow practitioners who produce
materials risk their lives, isn't this acknowledging the persecution? Doesn't
this unintentionally increase the pressure on fellow practitioners? I previously
thought that way too, but later I realized this was incorrect. Now, when such a
thought emerges I immediately eliminate it and deny the old forces'
arrangements. We must only follow the path Master has arranged for us. In the
meantime, we need to use righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil that
interferes with Dafa or persecutes Dafa disciples who work at the Dafa materials
production sites. This is my personal understanding. I appreciate fellow practitioners kindly
pointing out any shortcomings. Posting date: 8/2/2007 |
