(Clearwisdom.net) The celebration activities of "World Falun Dafa Day" have already begun. This year is the tenth anniversary of Dafa's first introduction to the public.
The spread of Dafa in the boundless cosmos displays the unprecedented power of Fa rectification, and the spread of Dafa has provided all sentient beings with a boundless opportunity. At the same time, Dafa disciples also have great historic missions. Teacher said in "Congratulatory Statement to the New York Fa Conference," "What history has bestowed upon Dafa disciples are all the most magnificent things. At present, all that you are doing is the most sacred, all that you are doing is for the sentient beings, and all that you are doing is creating the future."
I exchanged thoughts with some practitioners regarding the celebration of "World Falun Dafa Day" and the tenth anniversary of Dafa's first appearance. We felt that we should do something new, including breaking away from old notions of the celebration activities. Instead of letting ordinary people think, as they did before, that Falun Gong practitioners are celebrating Falun Gong's anniversary and calling for their support, we should make it so the whole society is praising Dafa and saying, "Falun Dafa is good," and the theme "The world needs Truth, Compassion, Tolerance."
Details are listed below to exchange with fellow practitioners (this is only something to get the thoughts flowing; I believe more wisdom will show up).
The media's social influence is very important. Maybe we can make some breakthroughs regarding clarifying the truth to the media, thereby forming a trend of the society pushing the media. Since we have already created a certain social foundation through our process of thorough truth clarification, it might be important to resolve the issue of how to connect things both vertically and horizontally with wisdom and make it a whole.
Using Canada as an example, people from various walks of Canadian society have given us tremendous support. The support from the government represents the people, and there are many social organizations that represent many of their members. Publicizing these supporting voices in the society through the media would be the best way to make us known. If these social organizations that supported us can write letters to the media that state "the world needs Truth, Compassion. Tolerance," that would be powerful. We can deliver this kind of information to Western and Chinese media, and they can publish this information to form a current in society. At the same time, the social organizations that represent many people can encourage their members to join in [the theme of] "the world needs Truth, Compassion, Tolerance."
Above are just my personal understandings to be shared with fellow practitioners.
