My Understanding about Persisting in Clarifying the Truth and the Website Blockade

PureInsight | January 17, 2008

[PureInsight.org] A fellow
practitioner asked me: "Why do you persist in clarifying the truth?"
After having better understanding of the Fa and getting in touch with
people visiting websites, I have a deeper feeling and dare not to
pursue comfort. Instead, I only treasure this opportunity more
earnestly. I would like to share what I have learned recently.



Realizing my responsibility and duty



Once I encountered a person from a website who had read the
truth-clarifying material I sent him. He told me: "I have been reading
Minghui website recently. I had dream about encountering a great
catastrophe in the past. During the critical juncture, I would shout:
"Falun Dafa is good!"  I had the same kind of dream many times
this year. One time, I dreamed that many people died in great numbers.
I shouted with those who had survived: "Falun Dafa is good!" Did Master
try to enlighten me and want me to cultivate?"



I asked him whether he had an electronic copy of Zhuan Falun.
I also told him: "Your dreams were more than dreams. They were trying
to alert you to help your friends and relatives to withdraw from the
Chinese Communist Party and its associations and to understand Falun
Dafa is good." He said: "I will have a class reunion this year and I
will tell them."



I remembered I was very sad the first time I read "Touring North
America to Teach the Fa." Master said: "The cultivation of you all is
saving the sentient beings in every single gigantic cosmic colossal
firmament." "Then perhaps many beings won't be saved because you didn't
cultivate well--it's because you haven't cultivated well that they
can't become good." If because of my pursuit of comfort those vast
numbers of beings are to be eliminated, how can I be numb and lazy?



All sentient beings are waiting to meet Dafa practitioners



As I got in touch with people from websites, many of them told me that they wanted to practice Falun Gong.



One asked me: "How can I go forward to do Dafa exercises?"



 "Why didn't you tell me? I was so surprised after I read the book. Just like you told me, I am the fortunate one."



"How can I get in touch with you? How do you teach me? I want to learn it now!"



"Please give me the material. I want to learn to do the exercises."

 "I want to study Falun Gong. Where I can buy the books?"



 "I am very fond of the websites you have provided me. I am very
saddened for my compatriots who are being persecuted. I feel sorrow for
those who are in such an environment. I want to thank you for letting
me know the truth. The media misled people and kept them from knowing
the truth. Those who do not know the truth say things that are
irresponsible. I hate to meet those people."



After reading the truth-clarifying material, a Christian said to me:
"Falun Dafa is good! I will say so publicly in my family church!"



I met a middle-age person from a website last December. He asked me for
Falun Dafa material and I sent him an electronic copy of Zhuan Falun.
Later, I found out he was a blind man. He lost his eyesight when he was
three years old. He told me: "I had been depressed since quite some
time ago until I read Zhuan Falun.
I believe what was said in the book is real and it touches me a great
deal. Many things mentioned in the book happen to be the same view as
mine! I don't know what the purpose is for me to learn these things.
But clearly they purify my mind. I don't want to think of anything else
right now. I just want to continue reading the book. I will not only
read it once, but will read it a second time."



He has overcome his difficulty and persisted in learning the Fa and
doing the exercises. He used a computer aided reading machine to read Zhuan Falun.
Since the machine only read each word from its spelling without giving
accent and intonation, it wasn't like reading sentences and was more
difficult to comprehend. But he had read the book quickly for second
time and then listened to Master's lecture audiotapes. He did massage
for a living until late in the night each day, but he still continued
to learn the Fa. He told me after he finished read Zhuan Falun
for the first time: "I didn't see anything in that book like that
propaganda broadcast on the TV. I only see that the book teaches
cultivators to follow Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to cultivate.
If everyone would follow what is being taught in the book, then this
world would be happier and more peaceful."



I deeply feel that there are more Chinese people waiting to meet Dafa
practitioners. Once they have met Dafa practitioners, they will know
the truth right away, even if they had misunderstandings about Dafa in
the beginning. Why then don't we quickly clarify the truth to people?



My understanding on website blockades



Website blockades have been going on in recent years and people have
been trying to break through the blockade. Now I realize gradually that
there is no so-called blockade. The problem is to have our xinxing
improve and righteous thoughts. Saving people is extremely urgent. The
essence is to save people. Only when our xinxing reaches the standard,
Master will create conditions for Dafa practitioners. Master said in
"Teaching the Fa in the City of Los Angeles:" "What's important for
cultivators is righteous thoughts. When you have strong righteous
thoughts, you are able to withstand anything and do anything."

 

Practitioners who participated in a Dafa project in which I was also
involved felt strongly that there is no "blockade." On the contrary, by
emphasizing personal cultivation and xinxing improvement, we can
clarify the truth better. When practitioners in our project group
encountered s bottleneck, we didn't consider that it was the problem of
the practitioner cultivation situation. Instead, it was for the group
to be more diligent and to coordinate more harmoniously and help each
other. Master mentioned in "Fa-Teaching Given to the Australian
Practitioners" that when every one has an upright mind and cooperates
with the others then better results will appear. We have reached the
same understanding that if we put more emphasis on doing the three
things, not just as a formality, we will do better with the content of
truth clarification material, even under the so-called blockade.



Concluding remarks



I have found that many non-cultivators were also actively clarifying
the truth. In "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital," Master said: "That is
to say, don't pay any mind to whatever the reality of today's mankind
is or however rampant the evil is: The people who have come to this
world are waiting for you to save them!" Whenever I think of Master's
Fa, I dare not to pursue comfort.
