USING OUR LIVES TO FULFILL OUR PROMISE

October 07, 2000 |  

Since April 25 of last year, with Master enduring insult here in the human realm and the Dafa in distress in the world, large numbers of practitioners in Mainland China have given up their comfortable jobs, cozy homes, and academic studies, and have overcome severe difficulties, using their hearts of great compassion and great forbearance and using their reason and wisdom to explain the reality to the people of the world. They are using their own words and actions to prove the innocence and greatness of Dafa, and through their own courageous acts, they have left behind page after page of mighty works. As a Dafa disciple practicing overseas, I am proud for you. We hereby express our highest respects to all of the Mainland Chinese practitioners who have dared to step forward to validate the Dafa!

In courts of law, your righteous and noble words and your selfless and fearless testimony make evil quake in fear, at a loss for words with which to argue;

During the final moments when you are being persecuted to death, your hearts remain as steadfast as bedrock within Dafa, and even the heavens and the earth are moved;

When evil is recklessly inflicting damage, you use your wisdom and courage to hold press conferences, quickly broadcasting the crimes to the world;

Letting go of all personal fame and self interest, you overcome overwhelming difficulties and obstacles and go to Beijing again and again, risking your lives to make an appeal;

In the jails and detention centers, you openly face inhuman tortures with no complaint and no regret, enduring tremendous pain;

You are undaunted and unswerving, bravely forging ahead when those in front of you fall, holding Falun Dafa banners up high in Tiananmen Square, again and again;

... ...

Honorable fellow practitioners who have dared to step forward to validate the Fa, you are genuine disciples of our great Master. The light that your lives radiate amidst the Fa rectifying the cosmos is so pure and resplendent. Even if you may even now be held in jail or are out on the street, you are living in a way that is so composed and content, open and upright. Your cultivation is without self and it has nothing to fear.

My fellow overseas practitioners, let us be like all of those Mainland disciples who have dared to step forward to validate the Fa. Let us let go of all our attachments and confusion. Let us cherish this opportunity that is so very rare and throw ourselves into this great torrent of the Fa rectifying the heavens and the earth. Merge the wisdom and courage given to each and every disciple by the Dafa into a raging ocean with the power to bring down mountains and overturn the seas and drive the evil from the world. Let us take real action and use our lives to fulfill the solemn promise that we all once made!
