(Clearwisdom.net) Master has published two articles in a short period of time since September 2005. According to my current personal understanding, I suggest that fellow practitioners, especially those in Mainland China, hurry up to find those practitioners who have fallen behind during the persecution.
Finding these practitioners and returning them to Dafa is Master's will. In his "Touring North America to Teach the Fa", Master said,
"As for those who've gone to the opposite side during this persecution or even done awful things, let me tell you that Master still doesn't want to abandon them." "Since I don't acknowledge the old forces' arrangements and I don't acknowledge this persecution"
In "Teaching the Fa in San Francisco in 2005" Master pointed out again,
"It is true that Master does not acknowledge this persecution, but things have gotten to where they are today and the persecution has after all happened. Besides, there are so many Dafa disciples who have done very well and come through. But for those who have gone over to the opposite side and written something for the evil, what can be done about this stain? What can be done for those who had earlier benefited from Dafa and then did not validate the Fa during the persecution? They have to be given a chance, right?" (Answering Questions in San Francisco, 2005, provisional translation)
Master said again in "Teaching the Fa at the meeting on Writing Music,"
"Naturally there are some who fall behind under the pressure of circumstances. To realize that and start anew is to be responsible to oneself."
"As for the rest of our students, you should help the type of student [I just described]. Be understanding toward them. All of you, as long as you are counted among the disciples of Dafa, should work together with and help one another."
Because these students fell behind due to the persecution, and Master doesn't acknowledge such persecution and neither do we, bringing back these practitioners is something that we ought to do to fulfill Master's wish. It is also a forward step to completely deny the persecution by the old evil forces.
Finding these practitioners can rescue additional sentient beings. We are continuously sending our righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth. The more people there are who clarify the truth, the more people will be saved and the faster the process of saving beings will be. One person tells ten, and ten tell a hundred. If most of the practitioners worldwide persistently clarify the truth, the evil persecution will soon be eliminated. This will greatly reduce the persecution's damage toward Dafa disciples and all beings.
We can sure do it! In "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 US Western U.S. Fa Conference" Master said,
"The Fa-rectification will definitely succeed, and Dafa disciples will definitely succeed.."
Although the persecution has been sustained for over six years, the change is obvious to everyone. When I went to Beijing in 2002, people avoided speaking of Falun Gong. But a few days ago I went to Beijing again. I met a taxi driver who cursed Jiang Zemin and said, "Falun Gong is innocent!" In talking to practitioners who gave up cultivation during the persecution, some told me clearly that they were scared during the early years. But now they no longer say that. Instead, they ask for help and become quite active without trying to avoid things. With the situation getting better, I believe that task can be easily accomplished. As long as our goal is clearer, our attitude is more proactive and our minds are more tolerant we will achieve this for sure and do well.
We have to take advantage of our precious time. The process of Fa-rectification will not wait specifically for those who fell behind, or for those who don't do well. Once it is over, we will lose those practitioners and those opportunities forever. I sincerely hope that everyone will put some effort into doing this.
Please correct any misunderstandings.
