(Clearwisdom.net)
Reading Teacher's new articles one by one, we can see the Fa-rectification process entering its most crucial stage, and feel the critical importance of studying the Fa, clarifying the truth, and sending forth righteous thoughts. We must send forth righteous thoughts every day to bring salvation to sentient beings and eliminate the remaining evil forces in the universe, the same evil forces that suppressed sentient beings from learning the truth.
Recent Clearwisdom articles have documented the deadly persecution of dozens of practitioners in the past few weeks. The evil forces are even more vicious in venting their personal hatred now. As Teacher said in Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference, "The fewer that remain, the more wildly the evil rages; the fewer that remain, the more hysterical they get."
Eliminating the evil requires us to focus on both clarifying the truth and sending forth righteous thoughts. Many practitioners who wrote to Clearwisdom had mentioned this, and the articles reporting on the persecution also mentioned this; practitioners who read the articles should send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces that were reported, to help ease the persecution of Chinese practitioners and help them escape wrongful imprisonment.
While reading Clearwisdom now, whenever I encounter articles on the persecution, especially those that include the perpetrators' names, I send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil forces that manipulate them, and to raise awareness among the Chinese public. Although I didn't "lizhang" (hand position for sending forth righteous thoughts), I still felt the powerful abilities at my command. If all practitioners can send forth righteous thoughts while reading Clearwisdom, then we will continuously eliminate the evil forces and prevent them from hiding. It will help the practitioners in China and save the sentient beings there. Our formidable righteous thoughts can frighten all the evil forces and dissolve all the evil elements.
Of course, we have to send forth righteous thoughts at the fixed hours as well, and we can also ask our Teacher to strengthen our righteous thoughts. This way, the evils will be eliminated more quickly, and the day of the Fa-rectifying the human world will come sooner.
These are my own understandings, please correct where you see shortcomings.
