My Enlightenment from the Lawsuits Against Jiang By a Dafa Practitioner from China
In light of the rapid development of the lawsuits against Jiang, we Dafa
practitioners should better understand the Fa from the Fa, and thus, further
elevate ourselves. The following are some of my personal understandings obtained
through Fa-study. Please kindly correct anything that is inappropriate. 1. Relying on the Deviated and Degenerate Methods of the Old Cosmos Won't
Establish Justice in the Human World or Upgrade Morality. We should be clear about the following: The "lawsuit against Jiang"
is processed under a degenerate legal system in this society, wherein mankind as
a whole is degenerating. However sound the legal system may seem in any country,
it stands on a degenerate and deviant foundation. Under the arrangements of the
old forces, politics, science, culture, arts and belief in today's human society
have all deviated into elements that are blasphemous to the Dafa of the new
cosmos. Humankind cannot possibly return to virtue on its own accord unless Dafa
practitioners have first sufficiently clarified the truth. Of everything among
the old forces and the old cosmos, there is nothing that will allow humankind to
return to virtue. We cannot and should not rely on such a system to fairly and
justly evaluate the Dafa, which is creating the new cosmos. Therefore, we should
not forget who play the leading roles in this grand play. Otherwise, this in
itself inverts the relationship. It is Teacher who is rectifying the Fa. Dafa practitioners are assisting
Teacher, in the human world, with Fa-rectification and validating the Fa. Only
Dafa can enable mankind to return to virtue and raise the level of morality. The
display of Dafa practitioners' character, thoughts and behavior as they validate
the Fa is the actual manifestation of Dafa upgrading the morality of mankind,
while practitioners simultaneously serve as role models that propel the
restoration of everyday people's humanity and moral values. We should be clear that today's human society is still sliding down a steep
slope ever so fast, and it is utterly incapable of assisting with the Fa-rectification.
Specifically, in terms of the "lawsuit against Jiang," regardless of
whether one is a renowned lawyer, a grand judge, an international organization,
a government, a leader or a court; the power of Fa-validation ultimately comes
from the righteous belief of Dafa practitioners. It also comes from their
comprehensive understanding of the facts of the persecution and their ways of
explaining profound concepts in ordinary human language. We cannot rely on the influence of everyday people to advance the
"lawsuit against Jiang" because, in the human world, Teacher is
leading Dafa practitioners to rectify the Fa. All countries, organizations,
people and matters in human society are just making "choices" amidst
the Fa-rectification, which is actually determining their future. Their
understanding and support of Dafa is their choice for the future, but they are
not endowed with the sacred mission, opportunity, ability and mighty virtue.
Rather, Teacher has endowed only Dafa practitioners with such a magnificent
mission, ability, opportunity and mighty virtue. Although many of us don't
understand legal rules and procedures, in the case against Jiang we should not
have any expectations or rely on lawyers, judges and courts because that would
be improperly positioning ourselves within the Fa-rectification. It is only when we elevate together as a whole and clarify the truth in a
concrete and systematic manner that the case against Jiang can demonstrate our
progress in the human world. The decision of an American judge on September 12, 2003, and that of a
Belgian district attorney on October 9, should have awakened us. Judging from
the several statements that led to their decisions, we could say that they were
all just excuses for injustice. Why is it that with Jiang being so obviously a murderer, the judge simply
would not hear the case? It is because our understanding of the Fa is not
sufficiently elevated. Also, we have attachments that entangle us in the trivial
details of the laws. Meanwhile, in the alleged "soundness" of the
legal system that is in fact degenerate, everyday people cannot possibly declare
justice under their own limited power because, when dealing with this monumental
event, ordinary people require strong support from Dafa practitioners. Until the
grand current of Fa-rectification arrives at the human world, the fundamental
problems of the old cosmos cannot be resolved. These fundamental problems
include the prearrangements and covert agents of the old forces and the
interference they cause, as well as the damage and persecution originating from
the degenerate demons who seek to ruin the Fa. 2. Do Not Consider the "Lawsuit Against Jiang" as Just Another
"Lawsuit" Within the Ordinary World The case against Jiang is a journey that we must walk during Fa-rectification.
The purpose and meaning of the suit against Jiang, and our behavior as we
process the lawsuit is not at all like a lawsuit filed by ordinary people. An
important insight is that we must use the forms available within the ordinary
world to better expose the evil, clarify the truth and save sentient beings, in
a deeper, broader and more detailed manner. If we treat this as just a normal
lawsuit filed by ordinary people in the ordinary world, then our perspective is
wrong. We should have no expectations of the lawsuit's progress or outcome in
the ordinary human world. Whenever setbacks occur, we should not focus on using
legal techniques to resolve them. If we expend too much of our energy on
specific legal processes and details, we will easily fall into human attachments
and will be subordinating truth clarification to only a supplementary measure
that would serve as support for the lawsuit. We would then be erroneously giving
the lawsuit a higher priority than clarifying the truth. From another perspective, pursuing any progress or outcome regarding the
lawsuit in the human world is not important to Fa-rectification. Dafa is
harmonious, complete and wise. With these lawsuits we can reach deeper into a
wider range of society to systematically and more conveniently clarify the
truth. Without these lawsuits we should still be able to clarify the truth well,
as usual. Now Fa-rectification is just using Jiang's evil form in the surface
world to complete the final task of the Fa-rectification. Jiang and his evil
elements are all under control. If Fa-rectification required that they receive
their retribution immediately, they absolutely wouldn't be able to last for
another second. 3. Don't Allow Ourselves to be Led by the Legal Techniques and Procedures of
the "Lawsuit Against Jiang." Falun Dafa practitioners are following Teacher's arrangements to assist him
with the Fa-rectification. So much needs to be done in the Fa-rectification, and
among these things, the lawsuit is just one major demonstration. We must take
care and coordinate the various aspects of Fa-rectification work. In terms of
the "lawsuit against Jiang," we do need to proceed, and we need to
escalate our progress; however, we cannot become attached to it. We cannot form
any attachments while we process the case. We must not allow ourselves to be led
by the lawsuit, and especially we cannot allow ourselves to be led by the legal
procedures of the lawsuit. We should take the initiative to follow the path of
Fa-rectification. To be specific, this past year, Dafa practitioners as a whole
have handled the lawsuit well. Nevertheless, some still presented the
mentalities of expectation, observation, longing and dependence. For example, it
was previously stated that there would be a decision in June, so we worked hard
and waited. Then the decision was delayed for three months, during which we also
waited, worked hard and had expectations. When the judge announced his
unreasonable ruling, some of us were affected and thought that we should
supplement more specific evidence to build a stronger case, thus demonstrating a
narrow understanding. I think that while lawyers
can continue with their work, Dafa practitioners should not be affected by a
judge's ruling. We can only find areas that still need improvement by studying
the Fa from the Fa and looking inward. In order to better clarify the truth, we
must treat the lawsuit as a demonstration of tempering and improving ourselves
in our cultivation and Fa-rectification. From yet another view, any country, organization, court, judge or lawyer in
the human world who encounters the mission of handling Jiang's case, is given a
once-in-a-million-year opportunity to choose a wonderful future. Ordinary people
can also establish their mighty virtue using this opportunity; however, because
they neither cultivate nor have a Fa-rectification mission, their mighty virtue
is not compatible with that of Dafa practitioners. To be exact, this is a rare
opportunity given to them to make their choice. Since they have already made
their choices, why should we become attached to them? 4. Place More Emphasis on Bringing Jiang to Justice in the People's Hearts
and Conscience, Than in the Degenerate Courts. Based on a Dafa perspective, the progress of practitioners in putting Jiang
on trial in people's hearts and consciences can awaken people's righteousness
and virtue. This will make more people understand the heinous crimes committed
by Jiang, the "610 Office" and their evil group of followers, and
enable the restoration of humanity and moral values. This is exactly what we
should do in the Fa-rectification. When people base themselves on humanity and
morality, using the standard of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, to witness
the unprecedented persecution against Dafa and practitioners taking place today,
the evil nature of Jiang and his followers will be easily and clearly
recognized, and justifiably scorned. In essence, this is putting them on trial
and eliminating them. Remember that during the period when society's moral standard was higher, if
someone were accused of being less than a good person, that person would feel
such shame that they could not function. In fact, in human society, the
controlling restraint effected by humanity and morality should be higher than
the restrictions imposed by the law. With the degeneration of mankind, people
began advocating laws made by one or a few persons of authority. The use of
these laws to restrict people's thoughts and behavior is, in itself, the
consequence of mankind's degeneration and deviation. Posting date: 10/23/2003 |
