(Clearwisdom.net) "Reported to the police for clarifying the truth to people," "Persecuted and sentenced to seven years of imprisonment because of producing and distributing truth-clarification materials," "Abducted by the police when posting truth-clarification posters,"... These are a few sentences quoted from Minghui/Clearwisdom website articles on July 21 and 22. I feel that they imply that we are unconsciously acknowledging the evil persecution They sound as if the persecution of the practitioners was caused by their distributing materials and clarifying the truth, and imply that they would have been alright if they had not distributed the materials and clarified the truth to people.
Truth clarification materials are divine tools for saving sentient beings, and clarifying the truth is a merciful action of saving people. How can these be the excuses for the evil to persecute? Teacher said,
"The old forces don't dare to oppose our clarifying the truth or saving sentient beings. What's key is to not let them take advantage of the gaps in your state of mind when you do things." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston")
The reason for fellow practitioners are being arrested is that the evil has taken advantage of a loophole of ours. The loophole is not because of distributing truth-clarification materials or clarifying the truth per se, rather, it is that we haven't gotten rid of all our attachments.
But are practitioners' attachments and loopholes the only reason for the persecution? No. In order to reach their goals and eliminate sentient beings, the old forces reinforced the persecution in the name of testing Dafa practitioners. Also, practitioners have the loophole of harboring some attachments, and practitioners have not always denied the persecution completely. In my understanding, these are the three main reasons that the evil can conduct its persecution.
The old forces will always seek loopholes in practitioners. The key is that we must not acknowledge the persecution. Fa-rectification does not need this persecution that is totally reinforced by the old forces. The reflection of this understanding in our human society is that clarifying the truth or distributing truth-clarification materials is not the reason for the persecution, and practitioners must not be accused of that.
Thus, to change the way of expression of the sentences quoted at the beginning of the article, we may use the following wording: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls the freedom of speech and arrested Dafa practitioner so-and-so who informed the public of the facts, or, the CCP persists in persecuting and abducting good people who have exposed its evil conduct, etc. I am just presenting a few examples here. After getting rid of our way of thinking influenced involuntarily by the CCP culture, we will be able to come up with appropriate wording to deny the CCP culture and logic, and expose the evil persecution more efficiently.
Here is an example provided by a fellow practitioner about how to get rid of the CCP's way of thinking. This practitioner was once abducted and detained at a brainwashing center. The persecutors often asked practitioners this question as a part of their "thought report" method of brainwashing: "What is the result of your 'self-reflection'?" Many practitioners replied with "Nothing." Think about it, everyone: We are practicing the universe's law of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance; how can this be "nothing"? Who would think of it as "nothing"? Thus, this practitioner said with a gentle but certain tone to the 610 Office staff: "Very good!" Upon seeing the 610 Office staff's bewilderment, the practitioner added immediately: "Falun Dafa is very good!" This pure and calm answer based on validating the Fa frightened the evil factors away.
My purpose for writing this article is to share with fellow practitioners how to get rid of the influence of the CCP culture, and expose and deny the persecution from the basis of validating the Fa. Please point out anything not in line with the Fa.
