(Clearwisdom.net) Recently I heard that Russian authorities had banned the Divine Performing Arts from presenting their show in Russia. The show scheduled in Ukraine was also interfered with, and the local media there had some negative reports about Falun Gong. I wanted to share some of my thoughts on these events.

Divine Performing Arts performances can help beings to be saved during Fa rectification, but it cannot be looked at the same way as Dafa. If we emphasize DPA too much at the cost of neglecting Dafa's fundamental requirements of us, we might become vulnerable to deviating from our righteous thoughts and compassion

We shouldn't expect a "big event" to change the situation for an area. The bit by bit change of our environment comes from every practitioner's steady and solid clarification of the truth. Practitioners work very hard on the websites that we maintain, but we do not always communicate well with each other on what to publish and what not to publish from one Dafa website to another. As a result, some content has not been refreshed for a long time, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
Instead of using the words for "sending forth righteous thoughts," I see that many fellow practitioners in Russian-speaking areas use an abbreviation of "nm". Although the translated words are relatively long, we should make sure to bear in mind the solemn nature of sending righteous thoughts and its importance.

The above are just a few of my thoughts. If what I have shared is not in line with the actual situation in local areas, please forgive me, as I'm simply anxious. Some have said that Dafa practitioners in Russian-speaking areas carry a great deal of pride and tend to lose their tempers easily. I hope that we can all improve based upon the Fa and as cultivators do a better job of supporting the Fa-rectification.
