(Minghui.org) A small group of practitioners recently met up to exchange ideas. We recognize that during this Fa-rectification period, we should coordinate and cooperate better. We should also learn from each other, and form a more cohesive body in order to do well the three things.
Below are some specifics of what we discussed.
Exposing the Persecution
The experiences of local practitioners are very valuable in exposing the persecution.
The first step is to collect information on each area, and on individuals in the local public security departments, to establish a more complete database, and do it within a specific timeframe to avoid inadvertently forgetting important information.
With optimal coordination and cooperation, miracles have happened. We obtained the manual of the local public security authorities, and were quickly able to lay our hands on the names of many units engaged in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
Reporting the Persecution
In terms of reporting a specific incident of persecution, we used to start from the bigger perspective. For example, we would summarize every type and aspect of the persecution. That did somewhat deter the evil forces, but the effect was not obvious and the findings were very difficult to use to incriminate the perpetrator.
We later began to target the individuals responsible. This really had an effect on local evildoers, and created a relatively relaxed environment in certain areas.
For example, we worked on exposing a local Domestic Security Division captain by collecting informative and proven reports piece by piece. We then collated all the information in printed form, and drove many miles to the captain’s hometown to post the printouts everywhere, so that the evil things he did were all made known to his parents and the local people. As a result, the captain was promptly transferred.
As a result of this one specific, clear cut act of deterrence, when the local Domestic Security Division vice-captain happens to run into Falun Gong practitioners, he is quick to say, "Falun Dafa is good!"
Rescuing Persecuted Practitioners
In terms of rescuing fellow practitioners, let me give an example: As soon as we became aware that several local practitioners had been picked up, we immediately notified everyone to send forth righteous thoughts en masse. Without a moment’s delay, the telephone team began making calls to the local police station, letting the officers know that if the practitioners were not released promptly, the phone calls would continue.
The response we got from the police chief was, “I really admire you Falun Gong people’s tenacity, You have me beat.” And, sure enough, a few hours later, the practitioners returned home safely.
In our exchange, we also talked about the illegal police interrogations. We concluded that we should react quickly as one body, report the incident in a timely manner on the Minghui website, make truth-clarifying phone calls to the police station, organize family members to demand immediate release, etc. If we coordinate and cooperate well as a group, it is likely that the detained practitioners will soon be freed.
If we do not do well at this stage, we still have a chance when the practitioners are sent to the Procuratorate or the court, but it is relatively more difficult. Looking at it from another dimension, so much more evil will have been accumulated. That's why coordinating and cooperating well as one body, reacting and acting swiftly, using every means to clarify the truth, and eliminating the evil forces, are of utmost importance.
Let me cite another example that happened recently. Booklets maligning Falun Dafa began to show up around the county. At first, we did not pay much attention to it. Then, public broadcasts defaming Falun Dafa began to pop up on all the county TV stations, repeating the poison for all to hear and see. Later still came the news that the local 610 Office and Domestic Security Division were planning to arrest practitioners at their residences.
The coordinator practitioner realized the urgency of the situation, and went alone to the county to meet with practitioners. Other practitioners joined in. Everyone tried to first understand within the Fa why there was such a problem. Then everyone cooperated and did their best in various ways to clarify the truth to the local people. In only a few days, everything cleared up, just as if nothing had ever happened.
Creating a Relaxed Environment
To create a relaxed environment in any region, in addition to devoting time and effort toward clarifying the truth to the locals, we also organized a special biweekly 24-hour relay in the region to send forth righteous thoughts. From experience, we realized it was easier to concentrate for half an hour, so we now divide the time into 48 half-hour segments. We pick more responsible practitioners to choose and claim a specific segment. We instruct and remind them that when they are in charge, they must be loyal watchdogs and not allow any evil to enter or interfere.
Coordinating and Cooperating
In terms of coordinating and cooperating, we are all coordinators. To many of us, those may be just words, but we are transforming the words into concrete actions. For example, when a practitioner learns that a fellow practitioner has been arrested, he or she becomes the coordinator in the ensuing rescue project, and immediately notifies the other practitioners and coordinates ways to rescue the fellow practitioner. Other practitioners then cooperate unconditionally.
I think these techniques are very good, and effective, and worthy for the rest of us to learn from.
In our exchange, we also talked about coordinating other projects. In order to do a good job, we must first study the Fa well. No matter how busy we are every day, we must ensure that there is a fixed time to study the Fa. For ordinary chores, this is unquestionable, but even if we are doing Dafa things, no matter how important or urgent, we must put them down in order to study the Fa with our hearts and full attention. This is the key, and the most critical aspect. We need to remind ourselves and each other of this frequently.
