(Clearwisdom.net) I am a young instructor at a college. Here I'd like to share my experiences and recommendations in validating the Fa in school to save professors, teachers, and students.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has greatly polluted the minds of both teachers and students. From elementary school to college and even on into graduate school, there are classes that teach the CCP's theories. There are also ad-hoc ideological and political education meetings to brainwash students; cultural performances to praise the CCP; the selection of “Excellent Party Member,” “Excellent Youth League Member,” “Excellent Party Branch,” and “Excellent Youth League Branch;” and even a ceremony to re-take one's vows to join the CCP. Students spend most of their time studying and have little time to access the outside world. Students in elementary school, middle school, and high school are pressured to compete to advance to a better school at a higher level. College students are busy preparing for certificate tests or are addicted to the Internet, cards games, chess games, or dating. So they have no interest or time to observe or think about social issues and events. Thus many students don't know the truth about Dafa, nor do they care. Some students have heard the facts about the staged “Tiananmen Self-Immolation” and have understood that Dafa is good. However, they actively or passively join the CCP's organizations to get a government job. They know that Dafa is good but don't want to quit the CCP or its affiliated organizations.
1. Sending Forth More Righteous Thoughts to Eliminate the Evil Factors in School
I recommend that fellow practitioners send forth righteous thoughts to universities, high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools in their local areas at certain fixed times every day. Practitioner teachers and students should spend more time sending forth the righteous thoughts on campus. Every time our college has an all-hands meeting, I focus on sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors that prevent sentient beings from being saved. When there is a major CCP political event, such as a birthday, I increase the times and duration of sending forth the righteous thoughts before, during, and after the event. It has been effective.
Right now the CCP has started a nationwide propaganda effort to “sing the red songs” ( songs that praise the CCP). My campus was a major focus. Dafa disciples not only should send forth the righteous thoughts, but they should also not participate in such events. Dafa disciples in school should not actively or passively participate in CCP events for the sake of getting honors or promotions. We should not boost the CCP with energy, nor support its arrogance. Recent Clearwisdom articles mentioned that some practitioners made mistakes due to wrong thoughts and caused evils in other dimensions to persecute them; ruin their bodies; or used school, work, or family to interfere with them. We need to learn from these lessons.
Practitioner teachers and students need to play an active role in saving people. They need to cultivate themselves well. Dafa disciples' honorable behavior as they study, work, and live are visible to others. This itself is a truth of Dafa. Many people think Dafa is good because they have seen Dafa disciples' compassion, sense of justice, and dignity, so it's very important for Dafa disciples to act righteously at all times.
2. Clarifying the Truth to Students Based on Class Content
Practitioner teachers should wisely tell the truth of Dafa in class according to their own situations while paying attention to safety. We need to study the Fa well, send forth the righteous thoughts in advance, and carefully add truth clarification content into our teaching to clarify the truth of Dafa from different angles.
I teach law at the college level. I am assigned to teach Criminal Law, which gives me an opportunity to clarify the truth based on criminal law. I carefully prepare each class so that I can give good lectures in every class. My students like my class very much. I collect relevant information and set up a foundation in earlier classes to prepare for when I clarify the truth about Falun Gong.
When teaching the basic principles of criminal law, I use the basic principle that “if it is not defined in criminal law, it is not a crime, nor should it be punished” as well as the international crime of “genocide and crime against humanity" to tell students that the greatest international crime happening in China now is the CCP's illegal persecution of Falun Gong, and that Falun Gong does not violate China's law. I then lead the class to further analyze: First, religious freedom is a universal right and a right defined by the Constitution. Any action against religion is not in line with international law and is also against China's Constitution. Second, a thought is not a crime. Law only punishes action. No one should apply criminal punishment to a citizen because he has certain beliefs. The “Tiananmen Immolation” was staged and has been filed with the United Nations. Third, there is no law in China that states that Falun Gong is illegal.
Then I reach the following conclusion: “China has no law defining Falun Gong and is therefore illegal. People who persecute Falun Gong practitioners have violated international law and our Constitution. Jiang Zemin and other high-ranking officials who have persecuted Falun Gong have been sued in the courts of Spain and other countries. Some of these officials have been convicted; they will face arrest if they step on that country's land.”
When using my experiences at a law firm to expose the CCP's crime of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners' organs, some students became furious and several female students were almost in tears. I knew that they were shocked and understood the truth to some extent. Actually, there was an unexpected situation that day: the director came to sit in on my class. I once thought that he was stubborn, so I hadn't told him the facts for a long while. Then one day I talked to him and found that he actually knew quite a bit about Dafa and had even practiced it for a while. His suddenly showing up in my class made me wonder whether I should talk about Dafa in that class. I asked myself if I was a divine being or a normal person? I reminded myself that I was a divine being and that the director was a person. He was there to hear the truth. I immediately calmed down and sent righteous thoughts to clear away all evil lies and factors in other dimensions that might keep the director and students from understanding the truth. Since I was fully prepared and had also gained experience in my previous classes, I told the students the truth about Falun Gong. I was able to control the class, present the evidence, and show compassion. It was well received.
After the class, I walked back to my office with the director. He said, “What you said is all correct. Just pay attention to safety.” He didn't say anything else.
Please point out my gaps due to my limited understanding.
