In a Few Words: Some Understanding of Teacher's Recent Comment to a Disciple's Article

Recently, while clarifying the truth on the Internet, I came to a deeper understanding of Teacher's recent comment to a disciple's article "Do Not Differentiate Between Fa-Rectification Projects; 'A Great Way Has No Form' But Exists As a Whole." Teacher said in his comment, "Different approaches are in fact the all-encompassing way in which roles are dynamically distributed in the operations of the Fa."

I realized that the different approaches practitioners use actually amounted to only different task allocations. Often the people we clarify the truth to won't immediately believe what they hear at first. Results are eventually almost always only achieved through joint efforts by different practitioners, using a variety of means.

Once on the Internet, a college student told me that he had recently received phone calls in his school dorm from overseas Falun Gong practitioners. He was very surprised to receive the phone calls, but was skeptical about the contents of the truth that the practitioners told him. He simply could not believe it and told me that he found it "laughable." But in any case, he had heard the truth, so it became much easier for us to proceed on this topic in our chat. I kept sending righteous thoughts, and at the same time told him as we continued with the topic that what he had heard was in fact true. After I told him that Falun Gong was accepted in over 60 countries and many intellectuals in Taiwan also practiced Falun Gong, he was apparently flabbergasted and typed dozens of question marks asking repeatedly if these were true. Then he told me that he was going to "pass out," but we continued our chat. After learning that people were persecuted to death for practicing Falun Gong, he said he disapproved of the means used by the Chinese government. In the end, he lamented with a sigh that China was still not a country governed by the rule of law.

Because another practitioner had clarified the truth to him over the phone before, I only had to spend about 20 minutes talking to him on the Internet this time and obtained pretty good responses.

I also met some friends on the Internet from Northwest China who had picked up a truth VCD that other Dafa disciples distributed, and thus knew the truth about the self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square. Another Internet friend from Changchun knew the truth of Dafa after watching the Dafa truth footage that Changchun Dafa disciples heroically transmitted on cable TV. When I ran into such friends on the Internet, it became much easier for me to clarify the truth to them the second time around. Even just a few sentences would help to reinforce their positive impression of Falun Gong.

The above is my shallow level of understanding. If there is anything that doesn't conform to Dafa principles, I hope fellow practitioners can point it out and correct them.
