(Clearwisdom.net) One day when I was walking down a street in Chongqing, I kept sending forth righteous thoughts. A military officer walked by, who appeared to be a Lieutenant Colonel. As he passed by, I saw, within the field of my righteous thoughts, a snake fall to the ground from him. The snake immediately went under my feet and attempted to climb up on me. I sent forth righteous thoughts and stomped on it. That snake then disappeared.
I realized right away that sentient beings, including military officers and government officials and employees, who don't know the truth of Falun Dafa, have been poisoned and contaminated by the spirit of the Communist Party. Their belief in it will bring them to a dangerous dead end. Military officers, government employees and Communist Party members should be our focus for clarifying the truth. This could save them, and it is especially important because they are the closest to the ones participating in the persecution. If they have a kind heart, they might be able to influence the perpetrators of the persecution, to stop their crimes and to win a better future for themselves.
The following is a personal understanding of mine: When many of the divine beings in heaven planned to come down to the human world to assimilate to the Fa, they didn't want to reincarnate as military officers, policemen or government employees. They wanted only to reincarnate as ordinary people who could be virtuous without too much pressure, because they wanted to be able to eventually return to their own worlds. They were aware that once the human world enters into the Dharma-ending Period, human beings would face the prospect of elimination as a result of moral deterioration. But gods told them, benevolently, that if there were no divine beings that would reincarnate as military officers, policemen or government employees, then human history would not go through that specific period and there would not be a time of Fa-rectification. It would be terrifying for the human world if only evil beings and demons reincarnated as military officers, policemen or government employees. That would bring serious obstacles for the Fa-rectification and salvation of sentient beings. When the divine beings reincarnated to the human world, those who reincarnated as military officers, policemen or government employees and the ones that weren't able to reincarnate as Dafa practitioners placed their hopes on those who had reincarnated as Dafa practitioners. They hoped that when Master spread Dafa, the Dafa practitioners would tell them about it. But what they mainly worried about and were most fearful of was that when that moment arrived, they would be restrained by the specter of the Communist Party, and thus wouldn't listen to the truth and wouldn't believe in Dafa.
I realized that saving military officers, policemen and government officials is our responsibility. We can clarify the truth to them in different ways. We can use the opportunities that arise when we visit friends or relatives. We can also use letters or emails, which are both good ways of clarifying the truth. Some government officials, policemen and military officers have been deeply poisoned in their thinking by the Communist ideology. Whenever topics that are detrimental to the Communist party get brought up, they turn resistant. So when we clarify the truth to them, we cannot be too anxious. We should remind them of the fact that we are cultivating to be better people based on the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance," and that we are being persecuted for no reason by Jiang Zemin's regime. We can give them some examples of Dafa practitioners' experiences of improved health and elimination of long-term illnesses. We can also mention the brutal persecution that is happening in the labor camps and prisons throughout China. Finally, we can also kindly ask them, "Why are these kind and innocent people being persecuted?" During the process of clarifying the truth, we should maintain a peaceful and compassionate mindset without being antagonistic. We believe that those military officers, policemen or government officers who reincarnated from divine beings will find their original nature of kindness during the benevolent truth-clarification by Dafa practitioners. On our journey of assisting Master to rectify the Fa, and to fulfill our vast prehistoric mission, we will work together to negate and eliminate the poison of the Communist Party, and save more and more sentient beings.
