(Clearwisdom.net) When clarifying the truth about Dafa in certain fields, complicated superficial appearances arranged by the old forces in that field have blocked practitioners' understanding. However, sometimes practitioners in a different field can see this. But since they don't have the conditions or the abilities needed to clarify the truth in that field, they feel too far away to be able to help. I realize that this phenomenon exists in our present tasks of validating the Fa. It blocks our coordination as one body while clarifying the truth, which has decreased our power in clarifying the truth and validating the Fa. It blocks our harmonizing as one body.
In Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York, a fellow practitioner brought forward this question to Master, "It seems that fellow practitioners as a whole do not pay much attention to overcoming the evil's economic persecution..." This question indicated that we couldn't clearly realize the old forces' arrangements in the area of finance. In fact, not only haven't we paid much attention to the evil's economic persecution, in many other areas such as political, physical, educational, and legal areas we haven't paid much attention either.
From the perspective of breaking the old forces' arrangements, for example while clarifying the truth to government agencies from other nations, fellow practitioners have felt a huge resistance. Although they [the other nations] expressed their sympathy with our being persecuted, they didn't take effective actions to stop the persecution. The main reason is that the old forces have set up blockades we haven't paid importance to. We haven't broken through them in our minds.
For example, the CCP put forward "Five Fundamentals of Peaceful Coexistence," which makes some government officials from other countries confused about "human rights" and "sovereign rights." It also serves as a shield for the evil regime. Whenever it is denounced for its human rights problems, it uses the excuses of "internal affairs" and "sovereign rights" to deny and threaten some nations and governments. Its spokesperson Sun Yuxi did exactly the same thing at the 2002 International Human Rights conference. I hope fellow practitioners who are clarifying the truth to all nations pay more attention to this issue and break through the old forces' arrangements of "Five Fundamentals of Peaceful Coexistence" that interfere with validating the Fa and clarifying the truth.
Some of the arrangements made by the old forces not only interfere with and persecute the Fa-rectification; they are also important factors that cause human notions to be abnormal and thus cause humankind to head towards ruin.
Some fellow practitioners are specialized in law and "clarify the truth" to legal professionals. Nowadays, all countries around the world especially value law, regarding them as the underpinning of national existence. There are numerous laws and statutes. People all over the world, including those who make the laws and those who study the law, all know that a nation cannot function well without law. Human society already had simple laws when the existence of nations came about. As human history has progressed, the number of laws has increased from a few simple items at the beginning to many, many more nowadays.
"What is the use of law?"
We realize from the Fa that every region around the world has experienced changes in the forms of society. No matter what kind of form a society may take, the moral standard of human beings can only degenerate as human's material living standard improves. Human morality maintains humanity's existence. It is because of the existence of human beings that various forms of society develop. In short, the law is to enforce the maintenance of human moral standards. It maintains the human moral standard at certain levels. If you go beyond the limits, the law will punish you. If we take a look at human history, it is not that the law at certain periods was not perfect, but that the moral standard of human beings living in that period was higher. The time when the number of laws became more numerous was exactly the time when human moral standards were quite low.
It resembles a barrel of water, where "water" is human morality and "barrel" is the law. Water is limited in the barrel. If the barrel has a hole, water will flow out, which represents the lowest borderline in human morality being already corrupted. Then, a law will be made to block the hole. But as the number of laws increase, the number of holes increase, further increasing the number of laws. As human morality becomes more and more degenerate, holes in the law are everywhere. Humans then feel that the law can never be perfect, and hence the number of laws become more and more. Corrupt morality is like fierce floods and savage beasts which cannot be merely confined by laws. The only way to overcome this is to improve human moral standards and to stop people from falling below the minimum standard.
We Dafa practitioners are doing such a thing. However in their arrangements, the old forces allowed laws to have nothing to do with morality, which has caused human beings completely unable to realize that laws sever morality. In the Fa-rectification period, the evil in China can thus use violence without scruples on practitioners who save human moral standards. The emergence of law has only strengthened the warped notions of everyday people. It also causes the Chinese people to follow no moral standard and thus take a road to ruin.
We know from the Fa that our responsibilities are not only to clarify the truth and save sentient beings, but we also have the mission of creating a reference for the future. I put forward this problem to bring this to the attention of fellow practitioners who are clarifying the truth in the law community. We must correct the aberrance that laws are unrelated to morality, and ensure that the law in future society exists for the purpose of upholding human morality.
