It's been half a year since the article "The Power of Righteous Faith Can Shock the Evil" was published on the Chinese Minghui website on January 24, 2001. During this period, I have read many personal experience-sharing articles by practitioners. At the same time, I have also seen quite a few problems that are still present among practitioners. Here are my thoughts on some of the issues.
It has always been my belief that to exchange thoughts genuinely based on rationality, on the Fa principles, and on xinxing (mind nature) standards will not bring about any negative impact. These kinds of exchanges will allow all of us to see and experience the magnificence and greatness of Dafa. It will allow all of us to understand Dafa more rationally, to know the difference between cultivation amidst Fa-rectification and personal cultivation, and achieve further advancement more courageously and more diligently.
When exchanging experiences with practitioners in various parts of the county, I have noticed that quite a few of them haven't studied the Fa sufficiently. On many occasions, their comprehension of the Fa is based on their human side rather than based on reason. This persecution, which is arranged by the evil, is truly merciless when it comes to the testing of Dafa practitioners. In the past, Teacher has asked us to have a sense of urgency in studying the Fa. In the article "Further Eliminate Attachments," Teacher told practitioners, "My disciples! Master is very worried, but this cannot help! ..." I have seen that many practitioners have done quite a lot in validating Dafa. However, gauging if we have reached the xinxing standard for reaching Consummation of cultivation amidst Fa-rectification is not merely based on whether "I have been to Beijing" or whether "I have also distributed truth clarifying materials." In order to undermine Dafa and test practitioners, the evil factors of the old universe take advantage of our practitioners' insufficient understanding of Dafa.
For example, while some practitioners were talking about how many things they had done to validate Dafa, they were talking about how many warrants had been issued for their arrest. They didn't notice the unintentional reflection of the criminal notion in their minds. Some also unknowingly showed the attachment of fear, and the attachment of showing off. Some others used the government's slanderous words against Dafa when giving accounts on what had happened. As a matter of fact, all of these are also a manifestation of being brainwashed and being interfered with.
Others who have studied the Fa more may not even have the concept of any warrants being issued for their arrest. Some practitioner's main consciousness is pure to the extent that they don't acknowledge any mutated concepts forced upon Dafa or forced upon them by the old universe. Everything we do in Dafa cultivation should be a deed of total righteousness to be carried out by following Teacher! Oftentimes I even tell the sentient beings in places I go, "I bring to your lives eternal blessings: the Dafa of the cosmos." Righteous faith in Dafa can make ones main consciousness incomparably powerful, which has led me to believe that this righteous faith in Dafa can change elements of matter in their dimensional fields. As a result, I don't know what "reform" is about, and it is not up to everyone to have the final say on who reforms who. When my heart is filled with compassion toward people, it's not just that humans cannot reform me, even with regard to those who have been brainwashed under pressure and have reached devious enlightenment, I want to see them as soon as I know about their situations. On moments like that there is no trace of worry or fear, there is no trace of selfishness, and all is compassion. This mountain-toppling strength can overwhelm all.
We have eliminated human hearts, yet we can make use of human hearts, and we can see more clearly what human hearts are. Many practitioners feel humans are too hard to change, but I feel they are so easy to reform. We should not only tell people the truth ourselves, but also we need to wake them up and let them tell the truth to more people as well. In front of people, I seldom emphasize that I am a Dafa practitioner. Sometimes I even slam my hand on the table just as they do when condemning the evil that Jiang Zemin represents. Those who have heard what I said all told me without exception, "I will tell everyone else as soon as I go back." I am eliminating the evil by making use of human hearts.
Many internet experts (who are practitioners) discuss with me the safety of the internet, and it is true that caution is required in this regard. However, we cannot live within human notions and within the boundaries set for humans. As a matter of fact, safety is the unconventional approach of humans when under evil suppression. From my understanding, these are exactly what need to be eliminated with wisdom. Others have talked about internet 110 (a software package which sends out alerts on sensitive contents, and 110 is the emergency number equivalent to 911 in the US). But every time when I visit domestic web sites to read articles that slander Dafa, I have found that none of the articles could be retrieved. 110 is triggered by any sensitive word or phrase. Just as Teacher has said that those who make the law didn't expect the law to turn around and restrict them. So I think even if all the computers across the country are sending out alerts, we only need thirty overseas practitioners to help practitioners inside China (by providing them with up-to-date materials). Each of these thirty practitioners would be responsible for one province, and every three or five days they would compile and edit materials for ordinary people. We can also make titles eye-catching. The police will then be so mad at the ineffectiveness of 110 that they will want to destroy it.
Actually, quite a few of our practitioners don't even know that they have been interfered with and driven by mutated thoughts. That's because they have lived in the evil environment for so long, and also because of insufficient studying of the Fa, which results in even more interference. Unintentionally they acknowledge and passively take the evil arrangement. As a matter of fact, the key lies in righteous thoughts, righteous faith, and studying the Fa more. We are doing the greatest and most magnificent thing in the universe. But the destructive propaganda and mutated matter has manipulated some practitioner's minds into thinking that they are committing a crime. If you don't negate them completely and eliminate them voluntarily, you will end up with more interference. There are just so many ways to break the internet blockade, which are related more to one's xinxing. Overseas practitioners need to help practitioners in China with more care and attention on details. It is quite difficult to understand this kind of evil without being placed in this environment.
When I passed along how overseas practitioners are spreading the Fa to practitioners in China, our practitioners here were all so excited and touched. Those who dropped out of Dafa due to their momentary wrong thoughts, came back into Dafa upon hearing such news. After all, no matter where we are, we should all be the guardians of the universe.
