Gaining Internet Access by Studying the Fa and Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts

December 18, 2011 |   By Li Huizhen, a practitioner in Northeast China

(Clearwisdom.net) After reading the article “Understanding About Not Being Able to Get On Dafa Websites,” I would like to share my experience with fellow practitioners in this regard.

It has been extremely difficult to gain access to Falun Dafa websites in China using the anti-internet blockade software since October 1, 2011. Sometimes I lost the connection immediately after being connected. I became increasingly annoyed. The more I grew irritated and anxious, the harder it was to access the websites. October is the harvest season in northeastern China, so I had to work in the fields during the day, and at night I studied the Fa and sent forth righteous thoughts. I was exhausted. I couldn't find any time or energy to resolve the Internet problem. Without being able to access the Dafa websites, fellow practitioners would not be able to get copies of Teacher's new articles, Minghui Weekly or new truth clarification materials about Falun Gong. What should I do?

It was a Friday night and I had tried the entire night to access Dafa websites without success. After doing the exercises the next day and a full day's work, I sent forth righteous thoughts a couple of times and read half a lecture in Zhuan Falun before falling asleep. I woke up at 11 p.m. I was calm and said to myself, “Before doing the most sacred things, I must study the Fa and set aside everything else. Nothing can be achieved without the power of the Fa. I am a practitioner and I must put Fa study ahead of all other things.” I finished the remaining half lecture by 11:20 p.m., then started my computer and clicked on the anti-internet blockade software UltraSurf, and it worked! I downloaded Minghui Weekly and other materials, then accessed the quitting the CCP website to register the names of those who wished to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. I knew Teacher was helping me, as once I had finished everything that I needed to do, the connection suddenly failed. No matter how many times I tried, I could not reconnect to it again.

I could not access Dafa websites for a few days after that. When I was done with my work early one time and was not very tired, I decided to go online after Fa study. I tried several times to access the Dafa websites, but each time the connection went dead. I was very anxious to read Hong Yin III on the Minghui website. A deep voice from the bottom of my heart said, “I want to read Hong Yin III right away,” but I still could not get connected. I re-adjusted my mind and calmed down. I clicked on the UltraSurf software to search for new servers. At the same time I was reading the articles that I had collected. I lost track of time but then realized that I had successfully connected to the Internet. As I checked the file size to download materials from the Minghui website, I was shocked to find that it would take me a very long time to download it. I was a little frustrated and disappointed. It was almost 10 p.m. I thought, “Maybe I should just wait for fellow practitioners in other areas to download it and then I could copy it later.” I immediately realized that this is an attachment of relying on others. What does a practitioner cultivate? Shouldn't we cultivate our righteous thoughts?

I clicked on the link to start the download. After quite some time, the progress bar was still at 0%, but my heart was not affected. I thought that it would naturally take some time because the file was so large. Just then I noticed that 1% of the download was completed. After some time it showed 2% then 3%, 4%... The energy field was very strong, benevolent, and harmonious. I knew Teacher was helping me and that I would succeed eventually. I continued to sit by the computer reading the Fa and checking the download's progress once in a while. After a little over two hours the downloading was completed successfully, without losing connection with the server even once.

We should not become annoyed or irritated when it's difficult to get connected to Dafa websites and break through the Internet blockade. Before we even try to get online, we should first study the Fa well and send forth righteous thoughts. There is a saying, “It is not a waste of time to hone your knife before cutting wood.” We should always keep a calm mind and get rid of the attachment to doing things in a hurry. When we look inward and uphold our xinxing standards, Teacher will help us. No matter what, the old forces are not able to block the path of divine beings.
