(Clearwisdom.net) As a practitioner, I know that I'm in no position to pass judgment on the Minghui website, but I still wanted to express my thoughts, because as a practitioner who works with a Falun Gong truth-clarification material printing center, I thoroughly understand how important Minghui is for fellow practitioners in China.
I began to use the Internet when China's Internet blockade was initiated. Just a few days after that, on July 20, the persecution of Falun Gong started. At that time, only a very few practitioners who had computers at home were able to break through the Internet blockade. My home later became a material printing center. Because of Teacher's guidance and empowerment, I have made it through to this day with the help of the Minghui website.
When the evil was at its worst, many fellow practitioners could not obtain news about Falun Dafa. Many practitioners felt depressed after they were persecuted. As soon as I gave them articles from Minghui, I saw their firm and righteous look. There were also many practitioners who didn't know what to do, so they decided to print articles and fliers that detailed information about the persecution and then distributed them. Many practitioners who had been bombarded by misleading and false information became clearheaded as soon as they read those articles and fliers. Then they, in turn, clarified the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution to their relatives. Many practitioners became adept at clearing up misconceptions about Falun Gong after they read articles published on Minghui. This enabled them to improve their environments at home and at work. During that most difficult period, many practitioners from exercise sites or Fa-study groups began to cooperate well and work hand-in-hand on printing, sharing, and distributing Minghui materials. They undertook the sacred mission of being Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples more earnestly. During that most difficult period, the Minghui website was the golden ray of light in the darkness. It was instrumental in helping Chinese practitioners to keep up with Teacher's Fa-rectification process and go forward together.
Practitioners in China during the Fa-rectification period know that they can put their full trust in Minghui. Every assistant, even the person in charge of the assistant center, has to be judged by the Fa. Sometimes false articles are circulated to interfere with practitioners' cultivation environment, and there was meddling by CCP agents. They got food, living accommodations, funding, and practitioners' names through deception. People who were depraved caused interference and disturbance by giving public speeches, interacting directly, and worshiping at temples. They were exposed on Minghui. Without guidance from Minghui, we would have incurred great losses.
Minghui connects practitioners from all corners of the world. No matter where they were, even if they were imprisoned, as long as they could read Minghui articles, it was as if they were amidst the tide of Fa-rectification. Practitioners who lagged behind could speed up and catch up with the progress of the Fa-rectification; practitioners who were on their own could feel the power of being one body. They could exchange ideas and be much clearer on the Fa-principles. Practitioners that did not know the technology could find detailed instructions. Their experience was shared with others. Anything they were uncertain of, they could easily find answers to on Minghui. Minghui is maintained by practitioners from throughout the world and it is helping every practitioner.
Minghui is a sharp tool to subdue the evil. Over the past ten yeas, I can't remember how many articles I have submitted. All I know is that the majority of them exposed the persecution. Every time I became aware of any persecution, I immediately sent it on to Minghui. When other practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts or looked for help, my wife and I wrote articles and collected materials about the persecution. The depraved people and officials are most afraid of Minghui. We clearly know the power of Minghui, because every persecution case is first published for all to see on Minghui. It also is of tremendous help to practitioners who are still under the brutal persecution.
Many practitioners shared after they were released that, as soon as their cases were published on Minghui, they could feel the attitudes of the guards change. Some well-known people, after their evil deeds were exposed a few times, had to change their jobs, and some had to go into hiding. Minghui has become a recording mechanism for the crimes committed against Falun Gong and its practitioners, often scaring those perpetrating the atrocities.
Also, Minghui is a valuable asset for practitioners who participate in making materials. It has all kinds of truth-clarification materials, and almost all materials that are produced in China were taken from the Minghui website.
The greatest importance of Minghui for fellow practitioners in China is that it is the only window that allows practitioners to see Teacher. Every recent picture and every lecture is of the greatest value to us.
Do you know what is the most exciting job for practitioners in the material printing center? It's printing and distributing Teacher's articles. Expectations are at an all-time high when there is a new article from Teacher to be published. That kind of expectation is just like looking forward to the Chinese New Year. Minghui connects us with Teacher closely.
Time flies, and Minghui has walked beside and with us for ten years. In its tenth year of existence, I hope that Minghui spreads even more widely and continues to walk on a solid path.
I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere thanks to the staff at Minghui and hope that you all strive forward vigorously!
