In China and overseas, some special agents, often disguised as practitioners at some practice sites, in detention centers or prisons, use various means to sabotage Dafa, misguide practitioners' cultivation practice, and prevent the public from knowing the truth about Dafa. They try every possible way to inquire about the practitioners whom they think are key members, or lure the practitioners into their preset traps and expect to catch the suspected organizers and key people, or create disturbances and put the blame on Dafa practitioners. Even worse, some of them inquire about the whereabouts of our Teacher, and plot harmful incidents towards our respected Teacher.á In "Rationality", the Teacher has told us, "When he calms down and evaluates everything according to Dafa, he will be able to see the nature of the matter." Some of our practitioners are so excited, as if their blood is at the boiling point, when they talk about safeguarding Dafa. They are full of indignation and high morals when they talk about stepping forward for Dafa. These attitudes more or less have deviated from the rationality, and have left a loophole for the evil beings to take advantage of. If we can calm down and evaluate everything according to Dafa with our rationality and wisdom bestowed by Dafa, instead of using the impulsive sentimentality or the so-called "warm-heartedness" of everyday people, we will be able to distinguish the special agents disguised as practitioners, and expose their conspiracy.á Actually, if we calm down and take a look, we will find numerous generalities and flaws in the words and behavior of these special agents. If we eliminate our attachment of "motive of accomplishment" or personal pursuits in the course of stepping forward for Dafa, it will be easier for us to see through the disguise of the spies. The following are some examples for the reference of fellow practitioners. 1. They always show up at the "right time" Several months after July 22 (the October and November time frame), some "practitioners" from China suddenly emerged at some so-called important overseas practice sites (even at some experience sharing conferences) and they all had "heroic and moving" stories. They could easily attract practitioners attention and make good impressions on them, gain their recognition, and then quickly obtain the "help they needed." They often walk into the practitioners with a very skillful "three-step" dance. The first step is that they effortlessly find the "core" practice site, or someone's trust. The second step is that they will swiftly gain the trust from people whom they aim for with their "stories". The third step is that they mingle with practitioners, make them put down their guards and answer all their questions, and even get so close to them as their siblings and move in to live with them. Similar cases have also been found in China. During the periods prior to certain sensitive dates, someone might suddenly show up and tell you that he is a practitioner who came from X city to appeal for Dafa and can not go back home. He then tells you stories that will make you sympathize and admire him. Consequently, he stays at your place, and then moves to another practitioner's place through your connections, and subsequently changes to another one. Through this way, he obtains the information of many practitioners in the area.á The Chinese government has been insisting that Falun Gong has organizations, but it has not found any. If it has no organizations, how come the appeals of practitioners have never stopped? Its organizations must be very secret and mysterious. That is their approach to the problem and thus, they simply can not believe it if you tell them that Falun Gong has no organizations. How can they understand the practitioners, who have personally benefited tremendously from the practice, risking their lives appealing for and validating Dafa! Therefore, they send special agents among the practitioners to dig out the "organizations". If they have not found any at one place, they change to the next one to try again.á These special agents often take advantage of our practitioners' kindness, honesty and caring for fellow practitioners. If we calm down, it is not difficult to detect these spies, because there are so many coincidences in their stories! The experiences that they have described seem woven with a series of coincidences. Actually only fabricated ones can be so. However, we very often would think at the time that Dafa is so mystical that he can always turn ill luck to good, and are moved by their "stories". In fact, if we pay some attention, it is not difficult for us to see that in addition to telling "stories", what they are doing is inquiring about people or affairs, or manipulating the practitioners to do something. If you dont listen to or agree with him, they will press you with the words from Dafa. The so-called "words from Dafa" coming out of their mouths are always a sword to press you to obey and the equivocal "definitions" to confuse you. (They themselves will tell you that these are the "higher level" meanings of the Fa from their "enlightenment," because they have reached such a high level). Except for these, they do not at all share their understandings of the Fa and their study experiences, because they do not have the genuine intention for cultivation. Since they are simply not studying Dafa, how can they have Fa in their mind? What they can make up are just the "stories" and words to agitate others. 2. They all have "heroic" stories that cannot be confirmed or verifiedá This is something most common among them. For example, one may claim that he is from such and such a place, one that you have never heard about or one that you have no way to verify. He tells you about his "multiple detention and release" experiences. Or he talks about how he was under the warrant from the public security agencies of his hometown, and has reached here, emerging from danger to safety. And then he tells you how he has escaped the search by the police and really has no place to stay, and asks for your help. Thus you have listened to him and been led to believe his story, and take him in or introduce him to other practitioners. Some might directly play a "torture stratagem" in front of you. You are detained for stepping forward for Dafa. Because you did not reveal your real name and address, the detention center does not know where to send you. In the center, there is such a "practitioner" who appears so extraordinary and brave in your eyes. He tells you that he was the first one who unfolded the banner that day. But when you share your understandings of Dafa with him, you find that he seems to know nothing about the Teacher's articles. The truth is that he was sent here after being asked to read Zhuan Falun several times by his superiors. There are so many articles, and he might have never read them, or might have scanned through them once, but could not distinguish one from another or know their content. The following is one of the examples. When you recite Lun Yu (The foreword of Zhuan Falun) with him, he would hum and haw, and still be muddleheaded after being taught for 7 or 8 times. Those spies who can recite Lun Yu (The foreword of Zhuan Falun) and Hong Yin (The Grand Poem) could certainly be more deceiving. But you still admire him and are moved by his "stories" and his brave actions, witnessing him being tortured such as being dragged out and thrown back in, etc. You treat him as a role model, admire and trust him, and tell him your name and address. It is not long before the police in your area arrive and take you away. You may be very puzzled, "how did they know? When I was interrogated, I did not tell them my name and address." You sure did not tell the police, but you told him, and he is one of them. Because the overseas environment is open and relaxed, they have to meet more practitioners and maintain certain regular activities. Thus they often tell different people different "cultivation experiences". In front of the veteran practitioners, knowing that their "knowledge" of Dafa is very limited, they often pretend to be new practitioners to avoid being exposed, with more careful talks and no "heroic stories". In front of the new practitioners, they often pretend to be veteran practitioners, talking about how long they have practiced and bragging about their "heroic stories". These "stories" are often spread around from these sources. If we are careful, we will be able to find the inconsistencies in the "experiences" that they have described from time to time. Many new practitioners with rationality can also clearly detect it. In addition, these overseas spies all have good command of the English language. Their English proficiency usually does not seem to fit well with their described or actual professions (obviously, they might show a lower English level after they have read this article). Although they disguise themselves as practitioners, they are not genuine ones (except for those who have crossed over to join the practitioners after knowing the truth through their contact with Dafa), because the genuine Fa can't be stored in their minds. If we calm down and evaluate them according to Dafa, we will be able to see that they are full of flaws. Moreover, not being a genuine practitioner one does not have a genuine mind of benevolence and kindness, but only the alertness and coldness in their eyes since compassion can not be feigned. 3. Their Inquires concentrate on certain issuesá Possibly due to their specific assignments, some focus on inquiring about contact people in each area. Once they see someone unknown to them, they would immediately ask, who is this person, who is that person. If he suddenly overhears a name of "an important practitioner" being called, he would be pleasantly surprised, Oh, this is so and so. He might have met that practitioner a long time ago, but did not match the name with the person then. Some concentrate on inquiring about certain affairs, such as who is responsible for which Dafa website, who did work on which newspaper, etc. Some remain quiet and collected, staying around some practitioners and expecting to find out the whereabouts of the Teacher. Fellow practitioners, cultivation practice is a very serious matter. Each and every one of our genuine practitioners should be responsible for oneself, for our fellow practitioners, for the society, for Dafa, and in particular, for our great benevolent Teacher. When we work for Dafa, we shall never mix our work with any personal complacency, show off mentality, motive of accomplishment, neither shall we use everyday people's warm-heartedness as the standard to judge good and evil. Treating the spies with a "warm-heart" shall never be seen as being benevolent, instead, exposing their conspiracy is truly being responsible for Dafa and ourselves. On the other hand, to identify the spies does not mean that we have any secrets that we fear being revealed. All Dafa activities are open to the public, and we have no secrets and will let people know whatever they want to know. What we mean is that as genuine practitioners, we have the wisdom. We can make a clear distinction between right and wrong. We know the special agents' identity, and what they are doing with their evil intentions. We shall let them know that we are open and noble and that Dafa is beneficial to all kind-hearted people. We also wish to raise their conscience with our benevolent and righteous mind so that they can be saved. However, we will not be used by them and voluntarily provide them any information that will be used to sabotage Dafa. Practitioners under any situation will not help the evil beings who intend to sabotage Dafa. 4. They always have excuses for their shallow understanding of Dafa It was said that special agents in China are required to read Zhuan Falun three times, before infiltrating into practitioners. Those who were sent to "key practitioners" might have had additional trainings such as recitation of Lun Yu (the foreword of Zhuan Falun), Hong Yin (The Grand Poem), etc. Those who were sent overseas might be outstanding ones who had obtained two to three months of training. But no matter how much they have prepared before hand, they sooner or later will show flaws since they are after all not genuine practitioners. As described previously, in order to gain practitioners trust, they often claim that they come from XX place (a place you never know, or is difficult to verify), then they will tell their fabricated "stories". When you ask him some questions related to Dafa principles, he realizes that it is difficult to answer them well so he would then come up with some excuses. Such as, someone in his family started the practice some years ago, and thus he read Zhuan Falun in XX year. However, since his enlightenment quality was poor at that time, he did not practice after reading the book regardless of how many times his family members persuaded him. Until April 25 or July 20, the event had such a great impact on him that he decided to start the practice. Because he started recently, naturally his understanding of Dafa is not in depth. Then he will get away with it. One practitioner has met a self-proclaimed practitioner with heroic experiences in a prison cell. When discussing Dafa with him, the practitioner found that he was very muddleheaded. The practitioner was quite surprised and asked him if he studied Dafa every day. He said that some days when he had time he occasionally read Zhuan Falun in bed prior to falling asleep. Is this studying Dafa? If he has not studied Dafa, what has guided him to step forward for Dafa? (Is that a genuine practitioner?) He explained that he saw the photo published on Jan.19. Is it possible for a person who does not study Dafa to truly put down life and death so easily? 5. They will flatter and compliment you In the article A Cultivator Is Naturally Part of It, the Teacher said, "For a cultivator, all the frustrations he comes across among everyday people are trials, and all the compliments he receives are tests."á In order to gain your recognition, they will compliment what you say and do, lure you to fall into their traps. For example, there was a person who encouraged practitioners to go somewhere to rectify Dafa. Before leaving, the practitioners asked him if he would join them. He said that he had more important things to take care of and could not go this time. He bought a train ticket and left. All practitioners got detained on the trip. After they were released, this person came back again to continue his subterfuge. Currently the most vicious approach to sabotage Dafa is that some special agents, disguised as practitioners who have "reached a high level of cultivation", went to prisons to shake practitioners beliefs. They do not use persecution or torture, but compliment you and tell you that you come from a very high level. He can see that your body have been replaced with high-energy matter, and you have already reached consummation. You no longer need further cultivation and study. You can hand in the Dafa books and will have no problem even if you write the pledge and live as an ordinary person, etc. What they have done have severely sabotaged Dafa. Several people would overwhelm our practitioners with these words for a few hours. If one does not have a solid understanding of Dafa or still has some attachments uneliminated, one can hardly stay firm in that kind of environment. It was reported that these viscous means even led to occurrences of demonic interference from one's own mind. The test that the practitioners in prison are facing is extremely serious.á The various means employed by the viscous beings are exposed here for the reference of our fellow practitioners. If we evaluate everything according to Dafa, eliminate our human mentalities, attachments and pursuits, and "Eliminate your last attachment" (Teacher's article published on Aug.12), the evil beings will not have any loopholes to take advantage of. á A practitioner in the USA Aug.15, 2000
