Firmly Oppose the Evils' Persecution Even If We Do Have Attachments

Dafa Disciples in Mainland Chi

PureInsight | January 20, 2003

[PureInsight.org] Our fellow practitioners know that the so-called test (actually persecution in its very nature) towards Dafa was imposed on Dafa by the old evil forces. By doing so, they are committing crimes against Dafa and that is something that Master completely does not acknowledge. Therefore when the evil takes advantage of our attachments and loopholes and persecutes us (Dafa practitioners), we should absolutely and firmly oppose it. Why is that?

First, from the perspective of Dafa, the Dafa of the cosmos created the old forces. Yet they have turned around to try to test and persecute Dafa. This has violated heavenly laws and they are committing serious crimes. How can this be allowed?

Secondly, from the perspective of Fa-rectification, Master taught Dafa to people in order to rectify the Fa of the cosmos because all sentient beings in the cosmos had become warped. Therefore in the face of the Fa-rectification, all sentient beings in the cosmos should conform and assimilate to it unconditionally. No objection is allowed, let alone opposition. The so-called testing, on the part of the old, evil forces, of Dafa and Dafa cultivators is completely obstructing, interfering with and destructive to Dafa. How can this be allowed?

Thirdly, seen from the perspective of our cultivation, the cultivation path of every one of us has been arranged by Master. No other being is allowed to interfere with it or disrupt it. However, the evil forces, controlled by their warped notions, have directly arranged and meddled in our cultivation. And this action is totally disruptive and intentionally damaging. They used the most degenerated evil beings in the cosmos who are doomed to be eliminated in the Fa-rectification, and let them come into the Three Realms and the human society to disrupt the Fa-rectification and persecute cultivators. The manifestation of this persecution in the human society has become extremely evil to the point where the evil people have completely lost their human nature. This cannot be acknowledged.

Fourthly, seen from the angle of saving all sentient beings, from Master's Fa lectures, we should have realized clearly that we came to the human world with the important mission of saving all sentient beings. So our cultivation of today is not simply personal cultivation. Instead, it is associated with the Fa-rectification and saving all sentient beings. In other words, as Fa-rectification disciples in the Fa-rectification period, we should assist Master in rectifying the Fa and saving all sentient beings while assimilating to Dafa at the same time. These three aspects (personal cultivation, assisting Master in rectifying the Fa, and saving sentient beings) are integrated and they exist simultaneously. They are inseparable and complement each other. In "Dafa is Indestructible" from Essentials for Further Advancement II, Master said, "But in order to achieve everything they've wanted to, the old, evil forces in the cosmos have directly taken part in persecuting Dafa, Dafa disciples, and all beings by continuously using the evil arrangements that they contrived and that don't conform to the true Fa-principles of the cosmos, and they have taken advantage of the unremoved notions that are at Dafa disciples' human surface, and Dafa disciples' karma, to make their righteous thoughts falter." The manifestation of the evil persecution in the human world is the inhumane persecution of Dafa and Dafa cultivators, which was carried out by evil people who were manipulated and controlled by the evils. All possible evil methods and malicious means have been employed in the persecution. The evil has reached the extreme. Consequently, numerous people have been poisoned by evil deception. As far as Dafa cultivators are concerned, they not only have lost the normal cultivation environment, but also lost the most fundamental and basic rights as human beings. What the evil forces have done is to try to destroy all sentient beings. The reasons are as follows. First, since we have lost the most basic and fundamental rights as human beings since our cultivation and assimilation to Dafa have been seriously obstructed. Some cultivators in jail have no access to Dafa books; some cannot study the Fa or cultivate calmly in such an extremely evil environment with interference and persecution. As we all know, our assimilation to Dafa and cultivation do not only concern ourselves solely. In fact as we are assimilating to Dafa and cultivating, we are saving countless beings from our own cosmic systems who placed their hope in us. Being their lord or king, if we cannot assimilate to Dafa due to the evil persecution, or if we cannot assimilate to Dafa well, this will actually influence the countless beings in our cosmic systems. This would cause more of them to become bad, and more of them to be eliminated. Secondly, due to the evil persecution, some cultivators turned away from their original intention of assimilating to Dafa and saving all sentient beings. Some have hidden because of fear and to this moment haven't been able to step forward. Some have turned toward an evil path. Some have even gone to the opposite side of Dafa and they join the evil that is damaging Dafa. If they were a god or a king in heaven, then how many cosmic beings that are related to them would be sifted out as a result of the evil turning them rotten! Thirdly, evil lies have poisoned numerous people. If that poison in their minds cannot be removed, they will be eliminated when the Fa rectifies the human world. Meanwhile, because we have been severely persecuted by the evil, we cannot assimilate to Dafa very well. And when we clarified the truth to save people who have many notions of everyday people, the work was not done well. All this has led to a very small number of Chinese people from Mainland China being saved from the poisoning of evil lies. However, among the people in Mainland China, many of them have the same origin as we do. They used to be a heavenly god or a king. If they are poisoned by evil lies, not only will they be eliminated when the Fa rectifies the human world, but also countless groups of beings in the cosmos that are related to that person will also be eliminated. Therefore Master said: "Master wants to save all beings. But the evil forces are truly committing sins against Dafa by using all beings, with the ultimate purpose of destroying the beings."(From "Dafa is Indestructible" in Essentials for Further Advancement II) The old, evil forces have taken advantage of all the degenerated notions and bad thoughts of all sentient beings in the universe to contradict and oppose Dafa. Moreover they have taken advantage of Dafa cultivators' attachments and flaws to conduct their so-called 'test.' In fact they aimed to persecute Dafa and us "with the ultimate purpose of destroying the beings."(From "Dafa is Indestructible" in Essentials for Further Advancement II) This is what the old, evil forces insist on doing. This is the evil nature of the old, evil forces. We must have a clear understanding of this.

From this analysis we can see that denying the evil's persecution while we still have attachments is not simple. It is not a slogan either. It requires strong righteous thoughts that have been established based on a clear and thorough understanding of the principles of Dafa. With such strong righteous thoughts we should be able to break away from all kinds of persecution of the evil, and in doing so we are firmly validating Dafa and saving all sentient beings. These are righteous actions.
