The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has stepped up efforts recently to block Internet freedom in China, making it hard for people to access the Minghui website. For a practitioner, nothing that happens in the course of cultivation is accidental. Teacher said in "Fa Teaching at the 2009 Washington DC International Fa Conference," "Nothing happens in cultivation without a reason. When incorrect states and bad human conduct surface among us, those things have come to target human attachments."
The Minghui website is a critical window for Dafa practitioners to share their cultivation experiences. Teacher has praised Minghui's great role. Here I want to share my few thoughts on the CCP's Internet blockade.
1. Sending Righteous Thoughts for Minghui
In the article "Asking Fellow Practitioners to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts to Disintegrate the Evil Internet Blockade," the author mentioned that he rarely sent forth righteous thoughts to break the Internet blockade. Neither do I. I felt it was so easy to get to the Minghui website--just a single click, then I was there. So I seldom thought of sending forth righteous thoughts for Minghui. Actually, I am amazed at the amount of effort Teacher and fellow practitioners have put into widely distributing the Internet blockade software and keeping Minghui's operation stable.
The evil interference presents a good opportunity for us to focus our righteous thoughts to eliminate it. Teacher said in "Fa Teaching at the 2008 New York Conference":
"Each time they do evil, they have to gather up lots of rotten demons, turning out in almost full force. It is Fa-rectification and purification of the universe that is taking place, so they are being eliminated, and that is how the evil's strength is being decimated. Then after the elimination is complete, they settle down for a while. That's how it happens every time."
The end result of the CCP's actions will only let people see more clearly its crazy, evil, perverted, ugly face in its final days. By sending more righteous thoughts, Dafa disciples will cherish the Minghui website more and help to break through the Internet blockade.
2. Writing More Articles for Minghui
One of the reasons the CCP blocks the Internet is to interfere with practitioners' sharing over the Internet. So in addition to sending forth righteous thoughts, we should write more articles and submit them to the website, and in the process ensure a sufficient quantity and the quality of articles.
3. Strengthen Efforts to Clarify the Truth
We should not be depressed by interference and have our activities to save sentient beings swayed. On the contrary, we should use this opportunity to expose the evil methods, because the people in China resent the Internet blockade. We should strengthen our efforts at truth clarification and save more sentient beings. As long as we do what Fa Rectification requires us to do, we are rejecting the evil interference.
4. Don't Acknowledge "Sensitive Dates" Consciously or Unconsciously
So-called "sensitive dates" are created by the CCP, fearing its own end. The purpose is also to interfere with and persecute Dafa disciples. Dafa disciples should not acknowledge the evil persecution, nor follow the CCP's logic. We should let go of our human notions. Every minute and every second nowadays is given to us by Teacher to save sentient beings.
At first, I had no problem in accessing the blocked sites. When some practitioners told me that they had problems, I didn't pay attention. Later more practitioners told me about their problems accessing blocked sites. I thought that it might be due to evil interference. One night, my Internet access became erratic. Later some practitioners asked me if I knew any other methods to break the blockade. I then started to think that I should do some research to find other options. That night, it became very difficult for me to access the Internet.
Later, I realized that my difficulty was because I acknowledged the blockade during "sensitive dates." I didn't have that notion before, so I had no problem at all. But once my human notions came out, I was interfered with.
