To Fellow Practitioners (updated September 21, 2001)
Human society operates in accordance with the principles of this human realm, and cultivators need to be held to the principles of cultivation and to higher standards. Only by transcending the sentiments (qing) of everyday people can one truly be compassionate to people.
Cultivators cannot hold everyday people to the principles of cultivators nor should they interfere with ordinary human society, otherwise they will end up doing a very bad thing.
"If you are still unclear about what Fa-rectification disciples are, you won't be able to step forward in the current tribulation, and you will be led by the human world's pursuit of comfort to 'enlighten' along an evil path... Cultivation and Fa-rectification are serious. Whether you are able to treasure this period of time is, in fact, a matter of whether you can be responsible to yourselves ('Fa Rectification Period Dafa Disciples')."
The beings that have deviated from the Fa at high levels are using any and all means to interfere with Dafa disciples. The evil beings have gotten to an extremely insane point. Every Dafa disciple, in whatever aspect, will encounter at any time the disruption of the mutated high level beings. In order to damage a disciple, to destroy a life that is in the course of cultivation practice, and to utilize our attachments to disrupt Dafa work and even the whole Fa rectification situation, they are resorting to using "time", "fatigue", "imagination", and other beings to do damage.
To completely break through the arrangements of the old evil forces and pull the evil out by the roots, one must be firm in calming the heart and studying the Fa, clean out the bad thoughts and ideas in one's mind at all times, use righteous thoughts to handle everything, and send forth righteous thoughts to get rid of interference. Only in this way can one wisely and rationally do well the Dafa work at this ordinary human level and progress toward an overall Consummation and return.
We are Dafa disciples traveling along the final path of Consummation. Keeping straight on your own path is also one aspect of validating the Fa. "Validate the Fa with reason, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and offer people salvation with benevolence ('Rationality')."
"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination ('Dafa is Indestructible')" and solidly fulfill the role of a Dafa particle in the overall situation of Fa rectification.In Dafa, there are no leaders or authority figures of ordinary people. Everyone is Master's disciple. Every Dafa disciple should understand the Fa through the Fa at all times and in all situations and, in the course of Fa rectification, continually correct the ordinary notions and warped thinking formed in one's head over thousands of years. Every disciple in Fa-rectification should bring into play the power of a Dafa particle and be responsible to the Dafa task that they are doing rather than turning around to take, in the face of conflicts, human attachments, human sentiments, and worldly ways as his code of behavior, thereby giving up the principles of Dafa. In this way, our overall strength will be even more immense.
This also directly relates to the issue of whether we, as a unified body, can keep straight on the path and also whether each and every one of us is able to return to our own original highest realm. If everyone does everything in a righteous manner, then unrighteous things will have no audience. "Rectify all that is not righteous." The Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities.
"No matter what, though, as a cultivator, you shouldn't get too happy about anything your hear. Maybe what Master just said is itself a test for you. Get rid of any attachment you might have, and don't think about [such] things. Just do everything a Dafa disciple should do, and everything will be covered ('Lecture on the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Conference')."
Use every effort to break through Mainland China's blockade on the truth. That the people are unclear on the truth is the foundation upon which the evil is depending to maintain itself. When the people have all understood the truth, that will be the moment that the evil completely collapses.
Killing innocent, kind-hearted people who live by Zhen-Shan-Ren (Truth-Compassion-Forbearance) is not only utterly devoid of conscience, it is a persecution against the basic right of existence of human beings, it is a persecution of the right to believe, it is a persecution against "Zhen-Shan-Ren." It is very dangerous for any government, country, or nationality to not have a correct stance on something this critical.Recently, the number of death cases has increased tremendously. This is why we must urgently mobilize, use various different methods and different channels, to effectively help the whole society know about those cases of deaths that have occurred because of the persecution (as well as other cases of persecution that are equally vicious). This can allow different levels of governments, different organizations, and the people in every country and every region to take action in addition to being shocked by the cases. It can allow them to stand up to help the Falun Gong practitioners in China and protect the public good and basic moral values. This is truly saving humankind.
Using all different channels, call upon the entire society broadly and profoundly: "Stop the Killing!" and "SOS! Urgent: Rescue the Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted in China."
The contents of this document independently constitute a complete article by month. The main points of each article are updated as needed at any time until the end of each month. After the end of each month, the previous month's document will be entered into a database for reference. Due to lack of space, the main page will only show the contents of the current month.Master has recently said: "So in clarifying the truth, don't wait, don't rely on others, and don't just hope for changes in external factors. Every one of us is creating history for the future, that's why everyone is not only participating in group activities, but also taking the initiative to look for work to do. As long as something is good for Dafa, you should take the initiative to do it, take the initiative to work on it ('To All Students at the Nordic Fa Conference')."
