Rescuing Fellow Practitioners and Looking at the Whole Picture

July 20, 2005 |  

(Clearwisdom.net)

After reading the news about Ms. Gao Rongrong's death, I felt very sad. An old saying advises, "Rescue and help people who suffer the same troubles and pain." In other words, people who suffer the same troubles and pain should help each other. To be a good person in the world, one has to conform to this level's principle to rescue and help others who suffer the same troubles and pain. The all-encompassing climate of the ongoing persecution is still pervasive inside China. Nevertheless, the report about Gao Rongrong's face being disfigured was exposed to the world, which greatly alarmed the evil authorities. In desperation, they resorted to revenge and eliminated the witnesses. Unfortunately, some practitioners did not treat this incident seriously, and some were attached to worry and fear. Some thought that by distributing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, they were catching up with the progress of the Fa-rectification and that nothing else was important. They did not persist in exposing the evil's persecution and lost the precious opportunity for a rescue. Looking back, the immature state of fellow practitioners around us is also a main reason why the evil has been able to continue the persecution.

Recently, Teacher has repeatedly instructed practitioners that we must cultivate ourselves well, that we must not neglect our own cultivation, and that we should not use this excuse to defend our shortcomings. Cultivation is solemn. With regard to Gao Rongrong's death, I suggest that all practitioners who have seen or come in contact with this incident calm your minds to study the Fa.

"Rest momentarily for self-reflection." from Hong Yin II

Adjust your mindsets so that you can understand the Fa-principles clearly with righteous thoughts and start again from this standpoint. It is like seeing the whole picture while playing a chess game: we need to fully mobilize manpower from different areas to validate Dafa, clarify the truth, expose the evil, and disintegrate the persecution.
