(Minghui.org) Over the past few years, several practitioners in Dalian who produce truth-clarification materials have been arrested. Many of them were also technically savvy.

Recently, several more were arrested, negatively impacting our efforts to save sentient beings. Looking inward, I realized that we local practitioners still had a strong attachment to relying on others, thereby allowing the persecution to continue.

If each and every one of us can establish a small materials production site and be able to make enough informational materials for ourselves, the evil will no longer be able to take advantage of this loophole.

The practitioners who were arrested were always busy. They went out to clarify the truth in the day and had to produce materials for other practitioners in the evening. That meant that they did not have enough time to settle down to study the Fa, do the exercises, and send forth righteous thoughts. Yet, fellow practitioners praised them and praised them--until they were arrested. What a great loss!

Afterward, many of the local practitioners thought that those who'd been arrested had loopholes in their cultivation. They even sent forth righteous thoughts for them based on that notion. Isn't that complying with the old forces?

For example, when a practitioner was illegally sentenced, practitioners talked about his shortcomings. What we can see with our eyes is the part that the practitioner did not cultivate well. Practitioners' shortcomings, however, should not be reasons for persecution. That was done by the old forces and is not Master's arrangement.

We should deny the persecution, look inward to eliminate attachments, and send forth righteous thoughts. That is truly helping fellow practitioners and is powerful.

I would like to suggest that Dalian practitioners learn from these arrests and fully support the practitioners who are being persecuted and help to secure their timely release.

They should no longer look for the arrested practitioners' shortcomings, but, instead, look inside for their own shortcomings, cooperate as a whole, and create a strong energy field.
