“Zero-Out” Is Arranged by the Old Forces

(Minghui.org) After reading many Minghui articles regarding the “zero-out” campaign, I would like to share some of my understandings. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)“zero-out” campaign harassment against Falun Gong practitioners has lasted for a long time. It started last year and expanded to the entire country this year, affecting many people. The evil CCP Central Committee and local village and community committees are all involved. They harassed the practitioners, their family members and associated people with threats to implicate their children and grandchildren during the campaign. This was done in order to force Dafa practitioners to give up practicing Falun Gong. The evil CCP’s goal is to isolate the practitioners from their family and everyday people, and destroy their faith and righteousness.

The old forces use the evil Party to test whether Dafa disciples could let go of attachments to fame, personal interests, emotions and firm belief in Dafa. They also intend to weed out everyday people. Master taught us about the old forces and their arrangements. We can only eliminate the evil “zero-out” campaign by studying the Fa well and truly recognizing the old forces’ evil arrangements.

A police officer from the local police station called my son on March 31, 2021 to notify me to go to the police station and finish the “zero-out” procedure. They said they would not bother us anymore after I did that. My son asked why the police were still harassing me since they promised not to do so anymore a few years ago. The police said this time it was from above and was different. I happened to be in the garden without my phone and was given this information by my son when I returned home. I thought of Master’s Fa immediately and started sending forth righteous thoughts. I understood this was arranged by the old forces in order to destroy people. I am a Dafa disciple and allow only Master’s arrangements for my cultivation. I cannot accept any form of tests from the old forces. I must completely eliminate the CCP’s “zero-out” campaign and deny all the arrangements of the old forces. I sent forth righteous thoughts for half an hour and my body was full of energy. I truly experienced deep relaxation after eliminating the evil. The local police never harassed me or my family again.

My understanding is that we cannot just use the “zero-out” campaign as an opportunity to clarify the truth to the police officers while unconsciously accepting the “zero-out” campaign itself. The “zero-out” campaign is not an isolated case nor launched only in a certain region. It is aimed at persecuting all the Dafa practitioners in China as a whole. This “campaign” not only destroys the police and community personnel, but also the officials who instructed the police behind the scenes. Practitioners who did not have strong righteous thoughts signed statements promising to give up Dafa cultivation, causing severe interference in their cultivation practice and futures.

Our practitioners have not joined together against the CCP’s “zero-out” campaign, and we did not act selflessly to treat other practitioners’ things as our own. The Minghui website has already reported on the evil CCP’s “zero-out” campaign in some cities and counties in southern China. However, we did not pay enough attention to these reports. We reported the evils’ persecution to the Minghui website and passed the responsibility on to the overseas practitioners. 

In addition, many practitioners prepared a lot of legal materials to be ready to clarify the truth to the police who would come to harass them. I am not opposed to clarifying the truth to the police, but want to point out that we should not accept the “zero-out” campaign at all. How can we accept a test from the CCP, which was created with evil intent by the old forces? 

Our improvement is based on the Fa taught by Master. If most of us just considered how to clarify the truth to the police who come to our door, wouldn’t this be acknowledging the arrangements of the old forces and “going along” with the persecution? Master has told us exactly what we must do:

Master said, 

“Do you realize something? My Dafa disciples, your righteous thoughts do have an effect. And the combined effect of each of you together is powerful beyond compare. The reason you can’t achieve such an effect is that your faith is lacking, and your righteous thoughts aren’t strong enough. With so many Dafa disciples around the globe sending righteous thoughts at the same time, 100 million plus Dafa disciples sending righteous thoughts together at the same time globally, would that not be terrifying to the evil and the old forces? To the gods, it would be a truly magnificent sight. What power! Even with just one Dafa disciple, if your righteous thoughts are strong, the power is enough to split a mountain—just one thought will do it.” (“What is a Dafa Disciple,” Collected Fa Teachings, Vol. XI)

Let all Dafa disciples in mainland China become a whole and completely eliminate the CCP’s “zero-out” campaign of harming people.

Above is my personal understanding. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
