(Minghui.org) I read some Minghui reports about how policemen continue to beat Falun Dafa practitioners, their family members and even their lawyers. My heart felt very heavy and I felt sorry for these people who still persecute us. At the same time, I also look inward. Why are these people committing crimes against Dafa? Is our starting point of saving fellow practitioner righteous? Are we still harboring notions that should have been eliminated? Have we clarified the truth to these policemen?
As practitioners we understand that everyone who participated in the persecution of Dafa was deceived by the old forces. Those beings believed that Dafa and Dafa practitioners could save them, and so they came to this world. Some practitioners also saw through their celestial eyes that while in this dimension the policemen were beating practitioners, in another dimension they begged the practitioner to save him.
I contacted a few righteous lawyers, and some fully utilized the law to help practitioners. They wanted to sue the bad people and expose their deeds. We should praise their justice and courage because they are playing the role of “human rights defender”.
However, I saw some practitioners follow the lawyers' way of thinking.
Master said,
"The only thing you have a role in is saving people, and you have nothing to do with using human means and human principles to punish or pronounce judgment on people. This is a fundamental issue!" ("Teaching the Fa in the City of Chicago" )
Of course I am not denying the legal procedure of punishing the bad people. I am just saying that as Dafa practitioners, our starting point should not be “defending human rights”. Instead, our focus should be on saving people, save all sentient beings, not just rescuing fellow practitioners out of jail.
One practitioner was being illegally tried. The first three trials were very intense and evil. Policemen occupied all the seats in the courtroom and only left one vacant seat. Practitioners only had one goal, that was to save the people who were participating in the procedures. They made phone calls to the judge and clarified the truth. During the fourth hearing, the judge did not interrupt the practitioners' speech. At the conclusion, he stood up and very seriously said, “I understand that Falun Dafa is righteous!”
One practitioner was heavily persecuted while imprisoned. The depth of the brutality was beyond human language. Some of the police who witnessed it were so horrified they broke down. The practitioner said, “If my heart is filled with compassion for these policemen, their attitude will change.”
During one trial, practitioners led the proceedings and the lawyers just played a support role. The practitioners clarified truth to the judge. The judge privately told the lawyer, “I will ask all the 610 Office officers and policemen in my area come and listen to what you have to say.” After the trial, several practitioners stood outside the courtroom and shouted “Falun Dafa is Good!”.
I hope all practitioners can continue to cultivate ourselves and save more people using our compassion.
Please correct me if there is anything inappropriate.
