(Clearwisdom.net) With the increasing speed of Fa rectification, the requirement as to how to coordinate with each other and improve as a whole has increased. We, as one body, are like teacher's Gong and can rectify any abnormal conditions. In "Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference," Teacher says, "The next person's things are your things, and your things are his things." This means when doing Fa-rectification work, we must not be constrained by geography. North America, Europe, Asia and Pacific area are all one body. Fa rectification concerns every practitioner. Together, practitioners can make up for the limitations of the individual and each region and hence improve together.
In March this year, when Hong Kong police brought false charges against Falun Gong practitioners, practitioners in other regions of the world by and large deemed it as a local issue, and did not pay much attention. In fact, it was another attempt contrived by the evil forces to more viciously escalate the persecution on a global scale. However, because Dafa practitioners as a whole did not clearly recognize the persecution in time, precious opportunities to clarify the truth and eliminate the evil were lost. In Hong Kong, such an open and shut case was dragged on indefinitely. Indeed the time was obviously left for practitioners to clarify the truth and rectify the environment. However, because nobody realized this in time, the evils became more and more unrestrained in the courtroom.
During the week before the verdict, practitioners all over the world finally collectively realized that this evil orchestrated trial must be stopped. Within the short span of a week, practitioners all over the world wrote letters, sent out faxes, and made phone calls, delivering to Hong Kong the righteous thoughts and stance from the entire globe, effectively restraining the evil. The situation began to turn around. The reports from important media around the world including the Chinese media in Hong Kong became more and more positive. More and more people started to realize the true nature of the persecution. They realized that the persecution not only affected the 16 practitioners on trial but would also concern the future of Hong Kong and its people. The collective effort to clarify the truth by practitioners from all over the world in one week has partially neutralized the several month's long arrangements and drudgery by the old forces.
The most crucial factor to ensure the improvement of global Dafa practitioners as one body is through the understanding and improvement based on the Fa. Studying the Fa and sharing experiences among practitioners are very important. When one person enlightens, he can lead the whole region to enlightenment. When people in one region enlighten, they can in turn lead people in an entire country to enlighten, and so on, until practitioners in other countries and the whole world enlighten. Only when we understand thoroughly based on the Fa, can we truly accomplish the task of clarifying truth and rectifying the Fa.
In "Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference," Teacher says: "So for our Dafa disciples outside of Mainland China, this is a chance for us to clarify the truth further, and to help people all over the world and the governments of each nation better understand this display of evil. So I hope you'll do your work along these lines more solidly, and help people to truly recognize all of this."
Although evil forces attempted to interfere with the Fa rectification in Iceland, Hong Kong, Germany and Cambodia, they also provide precious opportunities for overseas practitioners to clarify the truth and save sentient beings. Dafa practitioners all over the world should treasure these opportunities, coordinate with each other and improve together, and clarify the truth in these countries and all over the world. When all the people and governments of different countries come to know the truth and resist the evil, where else can the evil hide?
