(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mobilized the entire country and publicly launched the persecution of Dafa and Dafa practitioners. Some fellow practitioners stepped forward to uphold Dafa (some of them were arrested, beaten, subjected to forced labor or sent to prisons, and even tortured to death); some practitioners feared the CCP's tyranny and stayed home to study the Fa and do the exercises or gave up cultivation for a while; some practitioners were misled by the evil's lies and turned to the opposite of Dafa; and, even worse, some collaborated with the CCP to try to "reform" other practitioners. In circumstances that were horrible, closed, and complicated at that time, we knew that validating the Fa is Dafa practitioners' responsibility, but we were very puzzled as to how to walk our path well.
Later, revered Master told us that "on important matters, practitioners must watch the position of Minghui Net," guiding us in the right direction. We started visiting the Minghui website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom) as early as 1999. Looking back at the journey of ups and downs over the past ten years, Minghui has played a great role in helping us steadfastly walk well on the path of Fa-rectification cultivation by validating the Fa and offering salvation to sentient beings.
Minghui is a stage that displays Dafa's mighty virtues and Dafa practitioners' good demeanor. It is the Fa weapon that exposes the evil and eliminates the persecution, and it is a bridge connecting Dafa practitioners around the world. It is a reliable channel for Dafa practitioners in mainland China to obtain information about Dafa under the CCP's tyranny where information is restricted.
More and more practitioners have become mature, more and more practitioners have stepped forward to uphold Dafa, more and more practitioners have returned to Dafa cultivation, more and more practitioners once confused by the lies have awakened, and more and more sentient beings have been saved. All these are inseparable from the Minghui website.
On the tenth anniversary of the establishment of Minghui, on behalf of Dafa practitioners in Dalian City, I respectfully salute our compassionate and great Master and salute practitioner editors who have been working diligently and quietly contributing to the website!
