To Fellow Practitioners
(updated October 23, 2001)Within the range of our abilities, use every effort and various different channels and forms to clarify the truth to the people of China in a deeper, more refined way, more broadly spreading out. This is currently the primary Fa-rectification mission of all Mainland Chinese Dafa disciples. Not a moment is to be lost.
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. The main body of Dafa disciples is in China, those with a predestined affinity are concentrated in China, and the vicious persecution is very much concentrated in China. Thus, using various channels and adopting various forms to break through Mainland China's blockade on the truth is the important Fa-rectification mission of all overseas Dafa disciples to help to lessen the pressure on Mainland Chinese practitioners.
"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 at high levels that have deviated from the Fa are using any and all means to interfere with Dafa disciples. The evil beings have gotten to an extremely insane point. Every Dafa disciple, no matter in what respect, will encounter at any time the disruption of the warped high level beings. In order to destroy a life that is in the course of cultivation and to utilize our attachments to disrupt Dafa work and even the whole Fa rectification situation, they are resorting to using "repression," "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 persistent in calming the heart and studying the Fa, cleaning out the bad thoughts and ideas in one's mind at all times, clearing out the interference from demons in one's surrounding environment, using righteous thoughts to handle everything, and sending 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.
As soon as a Dafa disciple puts pen to paper on those such-and-such statements to write his or her own name, regardless for what reason it seemed "proper" in his or her heart, he or she has already made the fatal mistake of giving up his or her own identity as a Dafa disciple.
Many practitioners who have made this kind of huge fatal mistake have clarified their understanding from the principles of the Fa through Fa study. They have rushed to quickly issue a "solemn declaration," have gone to Tiananmen Square to validate Dafa, or have redoubled their efforts in doing the Dafa work of clarifying the truth, exposing the evil, and saving the people of the world in a more in-depth and refined way in society. If they can steel their hearts and steadfastly travel down the path of Fa-rectification, these practitioners will have hope of cultivating back to their original wonderful realm in a short time. On the other hand, if they cannot treat this issue seriously from the perspective of the Fa, then they will forever lose everything. What it actually means when a vow made before history is fulfilled is not something human thinking can assume as a matter of course. Take good care of yourself! Fa-rectification and cultivation practice are serious and sacred. One must be worthy of the merciful painstaking salvation offered by the Lord of Buddhas!
"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 Fa-rectification disciple 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').
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 justice and basic moral values of human society. 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."
******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')."
