(Clearwisdom.net) During the current Fa rectification period, effectively stopping the financial persecution imposed by the old forces on Dafa practitioners is not only a matter of individual cultivation. It also affects the progress of Fa rectification and the salvation of sentient beings. I would like to share my thoughts on this subject.
With the progress of Fa-rectification, it is my understanding that many gods who were previously onlookers or were against Fa rectification wanted to do something to help Fa rectification. They wanted to make more money available for Fa-rectification. Again, this is my own opinion. One manifestation of this is that many companies hire practitioners to work for them. On the surface it appears that a certain business is hiring a practitioner, when it is actually that the practitioner is offering the business an opportunity for its members to be saved.
I think that if we practitioners do well and effectively counteract the financial persecution, these businesses would reward practitioners by offering them more senior positions and better pay. As a result, more financial resources would become available for Dafa projects. When practitioners have more money, their truth clarification efforts will become more powerful. Effectively removing financial persecution is not just a matter of personal cultivation. It is closely related to the great mission of saving sentient beings.
We should use our righteous thoughts to stop the evil from taking away what belongs to us. I know one practitioner who was in prison for five years. His employer refused to arrange a position for him after his release and rescinded an offer to assign him an apartment. This practitioner firmly resisted, and asked to be compensated for what he lost. Eventually his company agreed to assign him an apartment at a very attractive price. In addition, he was given a senior position with a good salary.
Another practitioner was detained for five years, four of which were spent in a prison and one in a forced labor camp. Because he persisted in his beliefs, his company fired him in early 2000. After his release, he found a great job that paid much better than before.
Effectively stopping the financial persecution can help move financial resources to truth clarification projects and help the businesses themselves build a good future. Moreover, although practitioners don't pursue material interests, ordinary people place a great deal of importance on it. When they see practitioners with good jobs, they are more likely to think highly of us, and what we say carries more weight, making it easier for us to clarify the truth to them.
The above is just my shallow understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.
