(Clearwisdom.net) I used to think “all people opposing the persecution” meant that everyday people would all stand up to oppose the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), since so many Chinese people have been wronged. I enlightened that I was putting hope in everyday people. Dafa disciples are the main characters, and everyday people are playing assisting roles controlled by heavenly climate changes.
My family of four all practice Falun Gong. My parents have been arrested multiple times and detained. My younger sister and I lost our cultivation environment, and didn't keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification. We had no concept of opposing the persecution. When my father was being detained in Jiamusi Prison, my mother had fear, we were passively enduring the pain, and we failed to rescue my father from prison, so he died in custody. If we had taken responsibility to actively rescue him, he may not have died!
Master arranged for our family to melt into our local one body. Fellow practitioners helped us unselfishly. We gradually matured, and improved with Fa-study and solid cultivation. We have been appealing for the past eight months for my father's wrongful death. We feel that Master is pushing us to go forward, and fellow practitioners are helping us quietly. We can't express our gratitude to Master. We want to form a bigger one body, save beings in the appealing process, and help all practitioners recognize the importance of opposing the persecution.
Many practitioners don't step forward due to fear, but they know that opposing the persecution will help stop it, and that beings will be saved in the process. I feel that Master's orderly arrangements are manifested through each gentle push, to enable us to cultivate our righteous thoughts. Every opportunity helps disciples establish mighty virtue, but only if we can step out away from fear! Fear is blocking practitioners from stepping out to validate Dafa. Fear is blocking sentient beings from being saved, and fear is blocking more practitioners from stepping out to form one body.
Master taught us,
“The fact is, those who can't step forward, regardless of the excuse, are concealing fear. Yet for cultivators, fear or lack thereof proves [one's] humanity or divinity, and it is what differentiates cultivators from ordinary people. It is something that a cultivator must face, and the biggest human attachment that a cultivator must remove.” (“Study the Fa Well, and Getting Rid of Attachments is Not Hard”)
I alerted those fellow practitioners who had not stepped forward, that having fear is acknowledging the old force's persecution, and because of fear, many practitioners have been failing to study the Fa well and failing to enlighten to Fa-principles. This human attachment blocks many practitioners from catching up with the Fa-rectification process, repeatedly causing Master to postpone arrangements.
Some practitioners don't shoulder what they should shoulder, and have not saved the sentient beings they should save. As part of the Fa-rectification proceess, we should all participate in clarifying the truth to all those who are involved in the persecution, including police, the Procuratorate, and the courts. On the surface our family has actively pursued justice for my father's death, but we have also clarified the truth to the prison, the City People's Congress, the City CCP Political & Judiciary Committee, the 610 Office, the provincal prison administration bureau, provincal procuratorate, and the provincal higher court. Disciples have cooperated throughout many regions in the province, breaking through obstacles, and shocked the evil by forming a larger one body.
We normally don't have a chance to visit these government offices, but through this incident, we have clarified the truth by entering these offices. We gave these sentient beings another opportunity to position themselves.
There are still many practitioners detained in prisons, detention centers, forced labor camps, and brainwashing centers. Their families consist of both everyday people and fellow practitioners. Please don't wait until one of your family members is killed, like how my father died in custody. Our family regrets failing to rescue him. We should rescue our family members before it is too late.
We often tell people we aren't criminals, since our cultivation does not violate the law. It is the CCP that is committing crimes, and lying to the public. Our family members did not commit crimes, so why are they detained? Perhaps some families have the same unclear understanding of Fa-principles, and have fear like my family once had. If we had rescued my father, he could have saved so many more sentient beings.
I wrote this article to encourage all families to step out to rescue detained practitioners. The rescue process is a cultivating process. Let us shoulder what we should shoulder, form one body in the entire district, entire province, and even the entire country. We can reach the state of “All people opposing the persecution” under the heavenly climate changes.
The above is my personal understanding, please point out anything inappropriate.
Heshi!
