(Clearwisdom.net) Not long ago, I heard that one detained practitioner had asked her family members to use whatever means possible to bring her out of the labor camp. At that time, I did not pay much attention to this issue, and I just thought it would be fine for the practitioner to come out early. However, after I read "Master's Fa Taught in the International Teleconference," an article Master published on January 19, 2004, I started to realize the severity of such an issue. I understood that Master saw this issue and then benevolently pointed it out.
It is right that the detained Dafa practitioners strive to be released from the prisons, which are not places where Dafa practitioners should stay. However, Dafa practitioners should stick to the principle, that is, Dafa practitioners should not compromise with the evil in any way and should not take the compromise as the price to regain personal freedom. It should be clear that for Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioners, the purpose of getting out of prison is to better save people, not to avoid something. If any betrayal occurs, the practitioner would immediately drop down in his level, and even lose the qualification of being a cultivator. Taking remedial actions and cultivating back to a normal state is absolutely not a thing that can be done in one day or one night. The benevolence and dignity of Dafa exist simultaneously.
Dafa practitioners are mainly detained in such evil dens as the custodial centers, detention centers, labor camps, prisons, and brainwashing centers. There are three ways to get out of these places: The first way is for the practitioner to come out with righteous thoughts and actions while not making any compromise. The second is to use money to buy the detained practitioner's freedom, which also reflects, to a different degree, cooperation with the evil, since signing your name is also a compromise. The third is that a practitioner is claimed to have been "transformed" and then comes home before or when the prison term is over. We Dafa practitioners all clearly know that we meet the requirements of Dafa only when we stick to our faith and never compromise with the evil.
As Master makes the Fa more and more clear, there are fewer and fewer of the detained practitioners who knowingly go down an evil path. At the same time, they also realize the importance of exposing the evil that exists locally. However, another wrong tendency appears: when the detained practitioner has the mentality of coming out early, the behind-the-scenes helpers of the old cosmic forces stage a false scene in the human world, which makes the practitioner think that to come out early through faking "transformation" will enable them to better expose the evil that exists locally. This is another form of deception that the old cosmic forces use to try to damage the Fa and ruin the practitioners.
Having the thought of coming out to clarify the truth is not wrong, but practitioners should never take the course of accepting "transformation," since doing it that way would make the effort of exposing the evil lose its significance. It should be clear that exposing the evil is not the ultimate goal of Dafa practitioners. The ultimate goal is to save people and reach Consummation during the process of validating Dafa. If there were a lot of the detained practitioners thinking this way when they cannot endure anymore, the persecution environment would continue to exist.
