Look at the Arrest of Charles Li from the Fa's Perspective with Righteous Thoughts Written by a practitioner in USA
(Clearwisdom.net)
The Chinese government and Jiang's regime arrested Charles Li and charged
him with the crime of sabotaging Chinese TV programs. They are trying to
deliver the following message to the world: "We are not arresting him without
reason. He has violated the law. Even American citizens need to obey Chinese
law." They intend to use this as an excuse to prevent the U.S. government from
rescuing Charles Li.
No matter how ordinary people think of this matter, as Dafa disciples, we
should look at it from the standpoint of the Fa. I present here my
understanding of the matter.
The evil arrested Charles Li because he is a Falun Gong practitioner. This
incident is obviously a part of the whole persecution scheme and directly
targets Dafa. "The next person's things are your things, and your things are
his things." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference")
Therefore, it is our responsibility to completely deny the old forces'
arrangements.
Regardless of whether it is said that Charles Li may nor may not have participated in the interception of the TV signals, is it right for the evil to arrest him? Is it right that we feel we can't
justify our efforts to rescue him? Is it right that we think in our hearts
that he has done the right thing, but we still feel hesitant to urge the
government officials to rescue him?
As a matter of fact, Jiang's regime hasn't been able to provide any solid
evidence to justify their charges against Charles Li. They arrested him first
before they went all out and trumped up some evidence, which in itself
violates the law.
No matter whether he is said to have participated or not in the activity of tapping into Chinese TV
programs, there is no justification for the evil to arrest him. I'd like to
review what Teacher said in "Look at Things with Righteous Thoughts":
"Right now, the Dafa disciples of Mainland China using television to
let people know the truth is exposing the evil's persecution, is saving
the sentient beings whose minds have been poisoned by the evil's deceit,
and is a magnificent act of mercy.
"The group of evil political scoundrels has never followed the law in
dealing with Dafa disciples, so don't disapprove again of the actions Dafa
disciples are taking as they clarify the truth, due to your attachment of
fear."
Then is it right thinking that interception of TV programs violates the law
and those practitioners who tapped into TV programs should not receive any
support? Can we agree with the heavy sentences the evil forced upon those
practitioners who intercepted TV programs in Changchun and other areas in
China? We should realize that the persecution of Dafa and Dafa disciples by
the evil is fundamentally wrong. Given this prerequisite, whatever the evil
does, no matter how sound and law-abiding, it is totally wrong and vicious.
The evil will for sure be put on trial by history.
Only when our Dafa disciples reach an agreement on how to deal with the
arrest of Charles Li from the perspective of the Fa can the public take a
righteous stand. Only when practitioners go all out to rescue Charles Li can
the public echo our efforts. Posting date: 2/12/2003 |
