(Minghui.org) My parents practiced Falun Dafa prior to July 20, 1999, but they stopped when the persecution started. They have not returned to the practice because of fear.
They are aware of the lawsuits being filed against Jiang Zemin. My mother worries about me and asked, “The authorities were too busy with the military parade to retaliate against practitioners who have filed lawsuits against Jiang. But now that the parade is over, don't they have a free hand to retaliate?”
“The persecution is happening because we don't let go of our attachments,” I replied. “The old forces have taken advantage of our omissions in cultivation to carry out the persecution. As long as a practitioner is afraid, they will take advantage of the attachment and create an environment that triggers the fear.
“If the righteous elements in our dimensional fields increase, then the negative elements will decrease. When you have no fear, the old forces will not even try to scare you. You see, only a small percentage of practitioners have been directly persecuted.
“I appreciate that you care about me. But if you truly want to help me, you should give me righteous energy instead of negative thoughts. I was not afraid, but after listening to you talk about the persecution and retaliation, I have developed fear. If the old forces see it, they will use my fear to persecute me.
“If you really want to help me, you should encourage me and tell me, 'You have done the right thing. Don't be afraid of them.' If my righteous thoughts are strong, the evil will be scared. It will collapse, and I will not be persecuted.
“You know, when the police show up, some practitioners' family members challenge the police. They say, 'What's wrong with being a good person? Don't you dare touch my family member!' The officers leave, scared and dejected.
“However, others curse their Falun Gong family members as soon as the police show up, which is the same as giving the police permission to take the practitioners away. Aren't these people helping the police persecute their family members? Haven't they taken the wrong side?”
My mother kept nodding in agreement.
I continued, “You know Dafa is good. It was Jiang Zemin who launched the persecution singlehandedly, and now hundreds of thousands of people are filing criminal charges against him. You should, too. Not for me but for yourself. Only when righteousness has increased will the persecution stop. You and Father should both file criminal charges against Jiang!”
What I said made sense to my mother, but she asked hesitantly, “But neither of us has been persecuted. What should we write about?”
I said, “You used to practice. If you had continued, you would be healthy. But look at you now: all your illnesses have come back and are haunting you. Isn't this because of Jiang? Also, for many years now, you have been anxious, worrying about us being persecuted. You have not lived a day without fear. Isn't this mental and physical persecution?”
“True. I should file charges,” my mother said. “But I don't know how to write it.”
“I'll give you a template,” I replied. “All you need to do is adjust the content to your own circumstances.” My mother agreed.
I asked her, “Please persuade Dad. That way, each of you can write a complaint.”
“It would be better if you do it,” she said.
My father understands the truth about the persecution but has been determined not to participate in truth clarification work. He was lying on the couch watching television in the living room.
I wondered how to broach the subject with him, but he got up and said, “No need to persuade me. I heard everything and understand.” I was very happy for them.
The next day, I gave them the template. To my surprise, my mother said, “We can't bear the pressure. We can't do it.”
I asked myself I had developed zealotry the day before. I should not have been moved, but I was.
“You know the Fa-rectification is about to end,” I said. “How are you going to position yourselves?”
My mother replied, “I see! We should make a clean break with them. We will write it.”
In just one day, my parents each wrote a complaint against Jiang. I mailed the complaints for them.
