Eliminate the Human Notion from its Root and Stop the Persecution
By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) The persecution in China has lasted eight years and is
still going on. We need to seriously consider why this is so. In 2000, Master
said in, "Towards Consummation," "...sins can no longer be
allowed."In order to not leave behind one single disciple and to save more
sentient beings, Master has repeatedly postponed the conclusion of the Fa-rectification.
But have we, as practitioners, ever considered what, due to our inability to
keep pace with the Fa-rectification and because of our notions and our failure
to improve on the Fa principles, Master has been enduring for us? We
are really failing our revered Master's merciful salvation. Even today there are still quite a number of fellow practitioners who are
using human notions to look at this persecution, regarding the persecution as
one of man against man, and using human methods of protecting their
"safety." Fellow practitioners, Master has made it quite clear in the
Fa. It's the wicked beings in other dimensions that are controlling the humans
with bad thoughts and directing them to persecute practitioners. We have to be
clear on this point! From this perspective, isn't today's persecution sustained
by our own minds? Isn't it we who are pursuing persecution? We should stop the
persecution immediately! Only by stopping this persecution can we save more
sentient beings. Master said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in
Philadelphia, U.S.A.," "As I've said, everything that happens today in the ordinary
society is the result of Dafa disciples' thoughts. Even though the old forces do
exist, if you don't have those thoughts they can't do anything." None of the things we see with our flesh eyes in the ordinary society is
real. They are illusory. The real elements exist in other dimensions. If each
and every Dafa disciple is able to believe in Master and the Fa wholeheartedly,
and not be swayed by any factors, we will be able to bring an immediate end to
this persecution. But up to this day we still have not changed the human notion
about the persecution from its root, and are still using it to view what is
happening today. Some of the thoughts we have are: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
is going to hold another meeting, someone has gone to a certain place to
supervise the persecution against practitioners, a certain police station is
planning another action against Falun Gong, and another practitioner was picked
up by police, and will that implicate me? We won't hesitate to expose the evil
schemes and criminal acts, but we have to view the news with righteous thoughts,
rather than being moved. We must never allow the evil forces to interfere with
what we should do--hurry up and save people. At present, as Dafa disciples, we still have a fundamental unresolved
problem. Namely, who are the dominant beings in the Three Realms? This is also
the fundamental reason for the fact that some Dafa disciples are filled with
fear and are unable to validate the Fa in a dignified manner. Master said: "You are Gods, and you are the future rulers of
different cosmoses, so who would you count on? All the beings are counting on
you! (Applause) That's truly how it is." ("Teaching
the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.") Master also told us that Dafa disciples are the only hope for all beings'
salvation. But have we regarded ourselves as the dominant ones? Aren't we still
viewing the evil as a strong force? Aren't we still seeing ourselves as being
under the CCP's "laws"? Aren't we still thinking that spreading the
Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is violating the
CCP's "laws"? Aren't we still believing that clarifying the
truth, promoting the withdrawals from the communist organizations, and
passing out truth-clarification materials will lead to persecution, and that the
more we do the more severe the persecution will be, and that the more
significant a project we do is, the harsher the punishment will be? Aren't we
still having a sense of guilt when we do things that validate the Fa? So, when
we do the three things, we can't help thinking that we might get
caught and persecuted. Thus, we are subconsciously acknowledging the old forces'
arrangements in our minds. Sometimes persecution is a result of our pursuit. When the attachment of fear
is strong and when we care too much about what we lose among ordinary people,
this is in fact pursuit. That is why the persecution is still going on today.
This is a principle of truth. It is not to say that doing the three things
requires no rationality and wisdom; rather, it is important to have a correct
relationship between Dafa disciples and sentient beings: We are dominating the
Three Realms and Dafa disciples are saving sentient beings. Sentient beings are
not to commit sins against Dafa by persecuting Dafa disciples. Dafa disciples'
efforts to clarify the facts and save sentient beings are the most righteous and
holy things in the universe, allowing for no interference and sabotage from any
beings or elements. Whoever interferes is committing a sin. Is Dafa really that
sacred and inviolable deep in our hearts? Are we really feeling righteous when
we do things to validate the Fa? If the answer is yes, why would we think of
being persecuted first when we did things to validate the Fa? Do humans dare persecute gods when gods are saving people? Are humans capable
of persecuting gods? It's because we have not reached the state of believing in
Master and the Fa wholeheartedly that we do not believe that Dafa disciples have
the ability to end this persecution and thus don't dare to end it. Master has explained the Fa principles clearly, and now it is up to Dafa
disciples to implement them. As Dafa disciples, we should use our righteous
thoughts to eliminate the wicked beings and elements behind the world's people,
and then, when we use our supernatural abilities to direct the world's people to
do something, they will do it. Here, the key is the extent to which we believe
in Master and the Fa, and whether we believe that Dafa disciples have the
ability and whether we want to stop the persecution immediately. If there is anything above not in line with the Fa, kindly point it out. |
