(Clearwisdom.net) Recently some practitioners in our local area have been arrested, detained, or sentenced to forced labor. Most fellow practitioners help them by sending forth righteous thoughts from home. However, some practitioners have suggested using money to rescue them because it has been done before. Previously the police extorted several thousand yuan from us, but now the amount has increased to tens of thousands of yuan. Enlightened from the Fa, I think this is because we do not have righteous thoughts or righteous actions. We yielded to the evil and left loopholes for the evil factors to exploit. It has happened before that some fellow practitioners were not released even after they gave the police money. Several cases listed below also support my opinion.

1. When the local 610 Office held a brainwashing session, they ordered each of us to pay 300 yuan for our meal. Most practitioners paid, but I refused to. The person in charge came to me and had words with me about the payment. "Others have already paid for the meal, why not you?" I said, "You brought me here. My own store has had to be closed. Where can I get the money to pay you?" Finally they could do nothing else and forgot about it.

2. Once I was detained for 15 days. Each detained practitioner was ordered to pay 3,000 yuan. Any practitioner who refused to pay was not allowed to go home. Most practitioners paid. My family members are not practitioners. They paid 1,000 yuan after bargaining with the person in charge through a personal relationship. After I was released, I went to the local 610 Office to reclaim my money. From this case, I was enlightened to the following: We shouldn't foster the greediness of the police and bad individuals; we should disintegrate the evil CCP, eliminate the evil, and negate all forms of persecution of Dafa and practitioners arranged by the old forces.

3. Another time the Tiedong police got a list of practitioners who wanted to use the Internet. They found the practitioners on the list and said 2,000 yuan would settle the problem. All but one practitioner gave the money to the police. The practitioner who didn't pay up just sent forth righteous thoughts as soon as he arrived at the police station. He didn't give any money to the police, not even one cent. The practitioners who paid were arrested and taken to the brainwashing center. Moreover, each of them paid another 400 yuan for their meals.

From the above several cases, I was enlightened to the following: The evil old forces continue to persecute us because we still have loopholes, which the Fa will eliminate. Our righteous thoughts are not ample as one body. After our fellow practitioners are arrested, should we send forth righteous thoughts as one body or just submit them to the manipulation of the old forces? The old forces and evil deities are all-pervasive. We must completely negate the old forces, all evil beings and elements, completely disintegrate them, and send forth righteous thoughts as one body to rescue fellow practitioners. Only with righteous thoughts and righteous actions can we eliminate the evil, walk well on the path of cultivation, and do well the three things. With Teacher and the Fa, we can hold righteous thoughts, be selfless, and accomplish our sacred mission successfully.

The above is my personal sharing. Please point out anything inappropriate.
