(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, two incidents of Falun Dafa practitioners being secretly deported have occurred in Russia, which will bring a very bad future for Russia. The people in Russia are needing us to clarify the facts to them, so that they will have a better future.
Fellow practitioners in Russia have been clarifying the truth actively, yet their environment has not changed. I have exchanged some experiences and insights with fellow practitioners in Russia. Personally, I found that they have not fundamentally negated the old forces in their minds. Many of them have an understanding that Russia has been close with the CCP, which indicates that the environment "should be" worse and riddled with many obstacles. Isn't this thought asking for such an environment? In their minds, they have in some ways accepted the old forces' persecution in Russia.
Who is to say that since they have a close relationship, then Russia must help the Chinese Communists? Instead of continuing to think that the environment in Russia is not good and the practitioners cannot do anything to change it, they should look at these difficulties with strong righteous thoughts. Master said in "Environment" in Essentials for Further Advancement:
"The environment is created by you, yourselves, and it, too, is essential for your improvement."
We practitioners should look at things with righteous thoughts, look at things from inside the Fa, negate the old forces fundamentally, change this environment, and break through this cultivation state.
