Clearwisdom editors published the article with the title "Clarify the Truth to the Chinese People Comprehensively, in a Deeper and More Refined Way." At present, the most important mission of all Dafa disciples is Fa-rectification, and the crux of Fa-rectification is clarifying the truth. No matter what kind of environment one is in, each and every Dafa disciple has the responsibility to clarify the truth to the circle of people around him or her. Dafa disciples' clarification of the truth under the guidance of powerful righteous thoughts has a vitally important effect in the midst of Fa-rectification. (October 31, 2001) (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2001/11/2/15359.html)
Clarify the truth and alleviate the pressure
A family of three Dafa practitioners in Mainland China formed an even bigger Dafa particle to break through the Internet blockade and gain contact with Clearwisdom.net. This allowed them to work more effectively during Fa-rectification cultivation by clarifying the truth thoroughly and saving all beings.
Recently, Austrian Dafa practitioners held photo displays consecutively to introduce Dafa and expose the serious situation of the persecution of Dafa in China. They gained the support of the government officials. Mayor Karl Wilfing of Poysdorf city expressed that they "condemn the action taken against Falun Gong by the Chinese government."
The city of Milan Tennessee proclaimed October 29 as "Falun Dafa Day".
The power of righteous thoughts
Short stories of clarifying the truth:
Dafa practitioners in a county in a Northeastern part of China together hung up Dafa banners on the eve of October 1 (the National Day holiday). They hung a banner saying, "The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities" at the entrance of a government building. The people who work in the building did not allow others to take it off and said it would be wonderful if the Buddha-light illuminated everywhere!
When Dafa practitioners in county "A" hung a Dafa banner at the entrance of the county's Public Security Bureau, a person went to the police station to report that he found the Dafa banner. The policeman said, "Go away now! Is the money gained by reporting them worth it? Aren't you afraid of receiving retribution?"
Two Dafa practitioners asked for leaves of absence from brainwashing classes to distribute Dafa truth-clarifying flyers; policemen followed close behind them. Two practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and at the same time openly distributed the Dafa truth-clarifying flyers. The policemen looked more like their guards.
A Dafa practitioner in Jilin province one day distributed truth-clarifying flyers. Two elderly people were deeply touched after reading the flyers and wanted to donate money to the practitioner to print flyers.
The Fa-rectification stories of Dafa practitioners in Northeastern China:
Several Dafa practitioners were arrested by the police. The officers searched and found their truth-clarifying materials; however, they got out of detention by using their righteous thoughts and continue to clarify the truth even now.
Recently, guards at a detention center somewhat restrained themselves. Some guards quickly apologized to Dafa practitioners who were on hunger strike after they spoke rudely to them.
With righteous thoughts in our minds, the sky and earth will become broader: When the evil police came to ransack a practitioners house, fellow practitioners sent forth powerful righteous thoughts, not allowing them to enter the residence. Finally, the evil circled around the practitioner's home several times but could not get in, even the harassing phone calls could not get through. A practitioner named Daqiang used chalk to write on the wall on the street "Falun Dafa is Good." It is still there even now.
The miracles of firmly cultivating Dafa amaze everyday people: A Dafa practitioner from Hubei province was beaten up by the wicked policemen because he went to appeal. He was in critical condition and could not even remember his own name. However, his firm belief in Dafa had never been shaken. After he was released, he fully recovered several months later and continued to clarify the truth.
The rational and intelligent relatives of Dafa practitioners: One day, Mr. Zhang went out to post Dafa materials and was arrested. His wife, who is not a Dafa practitioner, had a feeling that something bad had happened. She quickly hid the Dafa materials at home and simply posted all the Dafa posters outside, and as a result, the police did not find anything in her home.
The people in Hong Kong know what is right and what is wrong: One Dafa promotion site was playing a video exposing the fabricated "self-immolation incident" and many people watched. Suddenly, one big man who claimed he came from Beijing said the video is fake. But the people around him refuted him. One person said, "I believe what they are showing is true."
Police Officers Who Could Not Be Deceived:
A director in a provincial detention center has always had a favorable impression of Falun Gong. Every time practitioners arrive at the center, he comes to warn the prison guards, "No one is allowed to hurt them; they are the most truthful people."
The Police Chief in a province once met a practitioner whom he called a friend. The Chief told his Falun Gong friend, "Falun Gong is quite good."
A head of a detention center in another province has been keeping an eye on detained practitioners through a surveillance camera and knows what kind of people they really are. Once he couldn't help telling a practitioner, "If the Party could be like you Falun Gong, there wouldn't be so much embezzlement and corruption."
Practitioner's Experience Sharing:
The power of compassion is enormous: I used to do things based on my everyday people's notions before. When sending forth righteous thoughts, I would try to eliminate all evil together with evil human beings. Later I realized how pathetic human beings really are, and that it is actually the evil forces that control people, causing them to persecute Dafa. So when I send forth righteous thoughts, my heart is filled with compassion and peace. Under such righteous thoughts, evil is eliminated one after another.
Abandon omission; united we eliminate the evil: Evil utilizes corrupt notions and magnifies the shortcomings that we find in each other. Only when we abandon our own attachments and the demonic nature in ourselves, can our Fa-rectification activities achieve a better result.
A practitioner deviated from Dafa after he was arrested. Other practitioners explained to him the truth while sending forth the righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil that controlled him. As a result, he came back from his deviation and became a very good practitioner. Teacher does not want to lose any single disciple and he wants us to improve as a group. He encourages us to help the practitioners who went to the wrong path and bring them back.
If we are truly determined to follow Teacher, we can abandon every wrong notion we acquired in this society, take off this human shell and treat ourselves as true divine beings.

Before practicing Falun Gong, I had serious sinusitis and suffered headaches all year long. My eyes were sensitive to light and my heart suffered from sudden pains. Each year I had to stay in bed for over 20 days because of arthritis. No medical treatment was effective. After practicing Falun Gong I have not been sick for three years. I did not have injections or medicine. The above illnesses have all disappeared.
My mother suffered serious illnesses before practicing Falun Gong. She also lost her job. My father was sentenced to prison for injuring others after being cheated by them.
