(Minghui.org) For many years, I did not have a correct understanding. Whenever I heard about imprisoned fellow practitioners, the idea, “they'll be free after the evil party collapses”, appeared in my mind. Recently, I noticed that quite a few practitioners had the same view, so I wanted to put it in writing for sharing.

I had been imprisoned several times in the past and that idea did occur to me. However, over the years many imprisoned fellow practitioners have been freed, but not because the evil party collapsed. Today, when I talk to practitioners, once again I hear this statement. It occurred to me that this statement is not in line with the Fa.

To say, “I'll come back from detention after the evil party collapses” indicates a sense of passivity and helplessness. It might also be an acceptance of the arrangements made by the old forces. If you wait for the evil party to collapse and Fa rectification to occur before you can be freed from persecution, isn't this a human notion? I think this shows a lack of understanding of the true meaning of assisting Teacher during Fa rectification. It is an acceptance of the senseless persecution and is also a reason why the evil party continues to exist.

Many fellow practitioners experiencing persecution may have thoughts of waiting for the evil party to collapse, but true practitioners will continue to focus on how to validate the Fa and save sentient beings. They will use righteous thoughts and actions to remove evil and display the beauty of Dafa. They will actively remove the interference of the old forces and not “wait” for the persecution to end.

It is even more important for fellow practitioners who are free to act, not to entertain the thought of waiting for the evil party to collapse. It is not helpful to practitioners who are being persecuted. Instead, it is accepting and supporting the persecution.

When the evil party collapses, it is because Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts and actions have disintegrated it. It is not because of our “waiting”. The problem we are facing is how to save more sentient beings. We should not take any passive stance towards the release of imprisoned fellow practitioners. We should remove the evil regardless of whether the evil party is collapsing or not. We should disintegrate the evil party and remove the arrangement made by the old forces through our righteous thoughts and actions. This is the responsibility and mission of Dafa disciples.
