A Reflection on Eutelsat's Termination of Service for NTDTV


(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher taught us in the Fa that nothing a practitioner encounters is accidental--it always has something to do with our cultivation. European satellite company Eutelsat stopped transmitting NTDTV signals into China; we must reflect on this incident from a cultivation perspective. Let's ask ourselves these questions: Have we done the three things well as Teacher asked? Has our cultivation met the Fa's standard at the different levels? Do we have broad and sincere compassion towards saving sentient beings? Have we abandoned ordinary people's notions? Do we look inward and think of others first whenever we encounter problems? Are we determined to fulfill our prehistoric vows?

It is not accidental that Eutelsat stopped transmitting NTDTV signals. Back in 2005, when Eutelsat renewed its contract with NTDTV, Eutelsat complied only after balancing the company's interest under the pressure from righteous voices in the US government. The company's contract renewal was not out of its decision to uphold righteousness. While the Fa-rectification is close to its end, everyone has to position him or herself in the face of Dafa. This includes the people in the company. The CEO, the board members and the employees are the people we should clarify the truth to with our compassionate hearts. We should thoroughly and patiently clarify the truth to them, and encourage them to make the right choice between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Falun Dafa. At the same time, we must send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate interference. This is upholding great compassion for both the people working for Eutelsat and the audience in China.

Teacher taught us in the Fa that whatever thing a practitioner encounters, good or bad, it is always a good thing. The Eutelsat incident is not only a test for our cultivation status, but also a chance for people to position themselves. It serves as a chance for practitioners to further expose the evil nature of the CCP. If we can fully utilize this opportunity and do well, sentient beings will be saved through this incident; otherwise, we will lose them. Practitioners who are in the area where Eutelsat is located, please do your best to clarify the truth to the company; practitioners in other countries (outside of China) should intensify the truth-clarification towards their governments and VIPs; practitioners in China who have access to the Internet can send emails to Eutelsat, while others can send forth righteous thoughts. We should keep a clear mind on what we are doing--it is practitioners saving sentient beings instead of practitioners seeking help for Dafa from ordinary people. Through what is happening, and our actions, ordinary people are positioning themselves for their future. Every one of our practitioners' words, thoughts and actions has important effects on people; we must awaken and strengthen people's righteous thoughts.

The accomplished side of a practitioner has the great power of the Fa and supernormal abilities. Whenever something happens, we should treat it with righteous thoughts. If our hearts are compassionate towards saving sentient beings, we will have strong righteous minds and power; righteous gods will also assist us.

Let us treat saving sentient beings as our top priority, and abandon ordinary people's notions and stagnant mentalities. It is our mission to save sentient beings and end the persecution. We cannot expect others to do it. The same is true when handling Eutelsat's termination of NTDTV signals into China. We need to ask international governments and important figures to pressure Eutelsat to restore NTDTV signals. Our righteous thoughts and determination are unbreakable like diamond. Fellow practitioners, please strengthen righteous thoughts to save more sentient beings.
