What Were the Germany and Iceland Events Teaching Us?
(Clearwisdom.net) In April this year, using lies and tempting world
leaders with promises of trade deals by Jiang's political regime, the German
government exerted pressure and created interference for the Dafa disciples
arriving from many countries for peaceful appeals. When Dafa disciples traveled
to Iceland for peaceful appeals when Jiang visited in June, they were once again
unreasonably obstructed, this time unexpectedly by the Icelandic government .
The existence of a blacklist and its use by a democratic country shocked western
society.
In the Iceland event, although the majority of the Icelandic people firmly
opposed their government's wrong decision, the negative impact of the event did
fall to a certain extent on the Icelandic people as it is difficult to
distinguish the responsibilities of a democratic government and her people. The
actions displayed by the Icelandic officials could bring harm to the people of
other countries if their governments also followed this bad example, and our
difficulties in saving sentient beings would increase.
As Dafa disciples we know there is a cause behind everything. The
Fa-rectification process is rapidly moving forward, if we can eliminate the
evil's obstruction and interference, think deeply and rationally, and look
within for our problems in order to rid ourselves of them, this would break the
old forces' arrangements while we upgrade ourselves at the same time. If we
ignore the real excuses of the old forces for arranging this persecution due to
our possible attachments or omissions, then who will become the victims to be
used by the old forces to make trouble and harm people?
We fundamentally do not acknowledge the evil forces' arrangements. However,
when they insist on doing what they have arranged, how can we better break the
arrangements?
Teacher said in "Touring North America to Teach the Fa":
"... if this disciple has taken a righteous path and conducted
himself well and someone still dares to persecute him, it doesn't matter
that they're the old forces or what the old principles are--I absolutely
won't spare them. There are countless righteous Gods by my side, too! And I
also have countless Law Bodies who do Fa-rectification. My only concern is
that Dafa disciples themselves won't be firm inside; when there's some kind
of attachment, some kind of fear, or what not, then the old forces see it
and take advantage of the omissions and persecute them." "You must
consciously and clearly recognize the evil beings' persecution. They're
truly doing bad things. It's best that Dafa disciples walk their own paths
righteously and not allow the evil to seize any excuse to persecute
you."
Then, why was there another event occurring after the Germany interference?
The old forces insisted on making these so-called tests. Which of our
attachments did they intend to target?
We should utilize the discussions that generated as a result of the Germany
and Iceland situations, upgrade ourselves as a whole entity as quickly as we can
and do better with the works of clarifying the truth and saving people. This is
a serious matter that every overseas disciple should act upon immediately.
