Emergence of the Movement "to Maintain the Advanced Nature of Party Members" Is Not Inevitable

April 27, 2005 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is vigorously promoting the movement "to maintain the advanced nature of party members." While clarifying the truth to people, some practitioners discussed the movement in an effort to indirectly talk about the "Nine Commentaries." Our goal was to save the sentient beings, as well as be consistent with the current Fa-rectification environment. How can Falun Dafa practitioners think that this current CCP movement has any direct impact on the effect of our truth-clarification activities and our efforts to save sentient beings?

I wonder if anyone seriously thought about why the movement "to maintain the advanced nature of the party members" has emerged and caught on across the country. Some practitioners may not have thought much about it, and silently consented to its appearance. Some thought that it was a predictable sign of the struggle of the dying demons, and others thought that it was a typical response by the CCP to the "Nine Commentaries."

I personally think that this type of thinking is based on human notions. Teacher in "Expounding on the Fa" said,

"You should also be clear that 'natural' does not exist, and 'the inevitable' has reasons behind it. In fact, 'natural' is irresponsibly used by everyday people to make excuses for themselves when they are unable to explain the phenomena of the universe, life, and matter. They cannot imagine what 'nature' itself is. Under the influence of this kind of notion you think that all these tribulations are inevitable and that this is just the way it is, thereby developing a passive and pessimistic attitude. So your human side must stay aware. More importantly, your side that has attained the Fa must be clear." (Essentials for Further Advancement)

After reading the paragraph and reevaluating the aforementioned thinking, it seems that some people have already accepted the CCP's movement, which is to admit the most evil demon on the whole universe,

"Having humanly fostered the evil demons, you allow them to capitalize on the loopholes in the Fa." (Essentials for Further Advancement)

When a large number of people think similarly, it will have an effect on the whole body. This is a key reason that the movement is spreading across the country.

"Whenever a tribulation comes, you do not see it with the side of your original nature but view it completely with your human side. Evil demons then capitalize on this point and inflict endless interference and damage, leaving students in long-term tribulations." (Essentials for Further Advancement)

Through Fa study, we learn to negate the evil. So why is the movement still continuing and becoming increasingly prevalent? Isn't it because some practitioners do not view it from the Fa's perspective or with righteous thoughts? Some still view it with human notions, and cause us and the general public to remain within the CCP's long-term brainwashing efforts. If we can all possess a correct understanding, then the movement will not sustain itself, and will die out.

This is not the first time we have been given the opportunity to learn a lesson. At this point we should be mature and responsible in the Fa. Teacher said,

"Don't use human notions to judge the Fa-rectification or the form in which Dafa disciples cultivate, and don't always prolong the process of improving your understanding due to your human thoughts. You are people walking the path to godhood, and every single attachment will hinder you." (2005 New Year's Greetings)

We should all calmly think about this issue.

Let us raise our level of understanding during our ongoing experience sharing, and follow closely the Fa-rectification's progress. We should do well with the most urgent matter at hand - helping everyone understand the "Nine Commentaries" so that they can eliminate the mark of the communist beast, and so that we can complete our pledges made in prehistoric times to save sentient beings.
