(Clearwisdom.net) Before deciding to write about my experiences while validating the Fa, I had doubts. I wondered if I would be persecuted for what I revealed. But I remembered that sharing experiences can reduce the chances that other practitioners and people in the future will meet the same fate. It can also awaken those who have been deceived. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it. At the same time, one righteous mind can subdue a thousand evils. The more fear and human notions I have, the more I will be persecuted. If our minds are like ordinary people's minds, then we will be persecuted like ordinary people. If we do not have human notions, then the power of Dafa will manifest in us. We are Falun Dafa practitioners validating the Fa and saving sentient beings. We are not ordinary people being tortured. We must be clear on this fundamental point.
We must overcome our own shortcomings. It is the persecutors who are scared of exposure. If they are exposed and then become even worse, doesn't it show that our thoughts were not righteous enough, that we have not exposed them enough?
In order to go to Tiananmen Square we need to put down our thoughts of life and death. The hardest thing is stepping forward. When I was arrested and jailed at a forced labor camp, after I put down the thoughts of life and death, I was able to escape from the camp. When I stayed at home, my mind felt uneasy.
When I remembered that writing about my experiences is saving sentient beings and awakening the people, I felt as if I was going to Tiananmen Square one more time. I suddenly felt that cultivation was a process of continuously breaking through my human notions.
Writing about my experiences is also understanding and looking hard at myself.
If we reach the standard early, Teacher does not have to suffer so much for us.
If I had realized earlier that my actions followed the path laid by the evil, the situation would not be like it is today.
If I wrote about my experiences earlier, perhaps many more beings would be saved.
Remembering what Teacher has done for us, remembering the power of Dafa, and my own duty, I can no longer wait. My thoughts flow out like a clear spring.
