(Minghui.org) A large number of practitioners avoid clarifying the truth about Dafa face to face. They only make a few phone calls or send out multimedia messages. Some just help make informational materials. They think that these things amount to stepping forward to save people. I think that this represents a misunderstanding of Master's teachings.
Many Practitioners Do Not Clarify the Facts Face to Face
If we fail to do the three things well, aren’t we walking on the path arranged by the old forces? Some practitioners' understanding of what doing the three things means is not in line with Master’s requirements.
There are a myriad of ways to save people. We first need to have a heart filled with righteous thoughts, whether we talk to someone about the persecution, hand out a flier, or file a criminal complaint against former dictator Jiang Zemin. If we do not have the heart to save people and stop the persecution, the effect of whatever we do will not be good.
If we talk to people about Dafa from deep within our hearts, we will be able to move their hearts so that they can recognize the truth and be saved. If our hearts are pure and righteous and we progress steadily in our cultivation, we will be strengthened by Master. He will give us the wisdom to say the words people need to hear.
If we honestly look within and diligently let go of our attachments and save people, the old forces won’t dare to persecute us.
Use a Variety of Informational Materials
When I clarify the truth, I try to make sure each person I talk to really understands the facts about the persecution. By giving them informational materials and calendars, they will be encouraged to quit the Party, now or in the future.
Nowadays, people are eager to renounce the CCP, and almost everyone will use his or her real name. I find that if I study the Fa diligently, recite the Fa from memory, and send forth strong righteous thoughts, my effectiveness in saving people vastly improves. By honestly looking inward and finding my attachments, my human thoughts are cultivated away and the effect of clarifying the truth will be good.
There are many practitioners who merely talk to people and do not hand out informational materials. They seem to think that, by doing it this way, there will be no excuse for persecution. I feel that this approach is based on fear and acknowledges the persecution.
Dafa materials are our Fa instruments. We should use every possible means to save people. Talking alone is not as effective as combining our words with printed materials. If we don’t hand out materials out of fear, we are giving the old forces an excuse to persecute us.
Failing to Follow Master's Requirements
Many practitioners are still persecuted because they fail to follow Master’s requirements. Some talk favorably about other practitioners’ activities, but then turn around and do things that hinder the overall effort of saving people. They have not managed to cultivate away their human thinking and still act just like ordinary people. This can bring about serious sickness karma and persecution.
Some practitioners that were persecuted went to the other side and helped the evil persecute practitioners. Now that they have re-entered Dafa cultivation, they still behave as ordinary people. They hide their past instead of coming clean and admitting their mistakes. Although they talk as if they are diligent practitioners, their actions do not line up with their words.
Many practitioners are still harassed by the police or come down with sickness karma. Some of them stay at home, studying the Fa and sending forth righteous thoughts. They have not realized the seriousness of the mistakes they made when they were arrested. They never join group Fa study and just enjoy their human life.
The end result is that an enlightened being from a very high level has fallen and entered nothingness.
To be frank, that person would be better off being reincarnated as a typewriter. Just imagine all the lives in all the layers of space that are waiting to be saved while we clarify the truth.
This opportunity of once in thousands of years passes in a flash. Do not miss the last opportunity!
