(Clearwisdom.net) I would like to share some of my thoughts about why the persecution continues, even while the Fa rectification is approaching the human world.
On one hand, misleading propaganda created by the Chinese Communist Party has caused some people to misunderstand Dafa and thus commit crimes against Dafa. There are also some people who are motivated by personal interests: They clearly know that Dafa is good, but still persecute practitioners for small personal gains. In addition, there are evil factors and old forces' arrangements in other dimensions that are interfering.
On the other hand, Falun Dafa practitioners' poor cultivation state as a whole body and as individuals may also be a factor, as discussed below.
1. Inability to send forth righteous thoughts as one unified body
When individuals don't do well in sending forth righteous thoughts or don't cooperate well to do it at set times with the whole body, the overall effect of eliminating evil is not good.
2. Each individual's cultivation state affects the cultivation state of the whole body
Many fellow practitioners are still holding on to long-term attachments. Some practitioners have not stepped out to validate the Fa yet. Some practitioners still do not look inward. There are some who hold on to various attachments and sometimes do things that interfere with other practitioners who are validating the Fa. Some have even gone astray.
I believe it is very important for each practitioner to genuinely concentrate on Fa study. Only then will we have the Fa in our hearts and be guided by the Fa on how to do well. We will also be able to see our own shortcomings and improve all aspects of our lives, work and Fa-rectification activities.
Every one of us should pay attention to sending forth righteous thoughts and do it well, especially at the four designated global and any additional local-area times. When everyone sends forth righteous thoughts together well, the evil will be thoroughly eradicated.
When clarifying the truth, everyone must try their best to use wisdom and skill to save all sentient beings. We need to expose the evil more strongly in order to end the persecution. The reason why many forced labor camps have stopped detaining Falun Dafa practitioners and even released some of them is because practitioners in these areas have done well in exposing the evil and have cooperated well as a whole body. Therefore, I suggest practitioners in every area increase their efforts in exposing the evil.
3. Local practitioners successfully disintegrated the evil at the forced labor camp
The evil in our local forced labor camp has been disintegrated, and Falun Dafa practitioners are no longer being detained due to the following reasons:
a. Practitioners wrote articles to expose specific cases of the persecution, including the names of police officers and prisoners in the forced labor camp who participated in the persecution. The articles documented in detail the severity of the persecution and the degree of each person's involvement, and noted when the involved police officers and prisoners were relocated. Because of this, these perpetrators were afraid and no longer dared to persecute practitioners. In the end, they stopped persecuting practitioners completely.
b. Truth-clarification phone calls from overseas practitioners carry a lot of power, so the support of overseas practitioners is very important. Each phone call deeply affects the perpetrators and is very frightening to them. Therefore, I suggest that overseas practitioners should not relax in their truth-clarification work directed at personnel from the courts, public security departments, forced labor camps, and prisons.
c. When local practitioners cooperated well in sending forth righteous thoughts in close proximity to the forced labor camp, the remaining evil in the labor camp was quickly eliminated.
