Change Our Non-Harmonic Way of Thinking to Break Through Illusions Created by the Old Forces

The old forces persecute practitioners based on problems generated by not harmonizing with everyday society. The old forces generate illusions to deceive practitioners and the world's people. A couple of examples are the practitioner in the United Kingdom and the couple in Australia facing deportation to China.

When we are clarifying the truth, one thing we need to be very clear on is that the United Kingdom and Australian governments are not against Dafa. Actually, they made it clear that they oppose the persecution of Dafa and Dafa practitioners by the Chinese government. Many government officials and local government officials from these countries have clearly said that they support Dafa and have praised Dafa practitioners consistently and peacefully protesting the inhumane persecution in China. They have great respect for Dafa practitioners and their actions. However, the old forces hope to use these incidents to create an illusion to deceive practitioners and the world's people and make people feel that these two countries also want to be against Dafa. When we are appealing to the people of the world, and especially when we are speaking to the media, we need to be clear on this and not create a loophole for the old forces to exploit.

We urge righteous people to help prevent the deportation of these practitioners because Jiang's regime is still brutally persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. When practitioners are sent back to China they will face brutal and inhumane persecution and even death. The staff in the United Kingdom and Australian immigration departments did not understand this truth clearly enough and therefore almost made a decision that they would have greatly regretted.

Due to Chinese authorities inhumane persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, countries that respect human rights and democracy should accept these practitioners based on humanitarian grounds so that they can avoid being persecuted in China. This is the truth we need to clarify.

From the point of view of Dafa practitioners, it is certain that we should not be attached to everyday people's society, and that we should put down our attachment to self. This is the state a cultivator needs to attain. However, letting go the attachment to self does not mean forgetting about the self and completely neglecting the self or family members, nor does it mean that we do not strictly follow normal legal procedures. Otherwise our living situation and immigration status could be in danger. Then how could we then fulfill the the responsibilities of being Fa-rectification practitioners? If we don't do things harmoniously in everyday society, or even make mistakes, the old forces will use these non-righteous behaviors to persecute practitioners and create illusions and rumors to deceive the world's people.

Master Li told us,

"Cultivating among everyday people, you must try your best to cultivate by conforming to the way of everyday people."

(Lecture at the Fa-Conference in Canada, Toronto, May 23, 1999)

When we truly reach the state of no-self and no-selfishness in our cultivation, the world's people will see our immense compassion.
