(Minghui.org) With the rapid surge in COVID-19 cases in China, it is a critical time for us Dafa practitioners to expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) disregard for human life and evil nature. I notice that many practitioners are not in a good cultivation state at present, and they are not seizing the time to save people.
After the CCP’s sudden relaxation of pandemic controls across the country, people were left to fend for themselves. Medicine and Covid test kits were soon sold out and people turned to alternative medicine. A variety of treatment methods spread rapidly on the Internet, only to be found to be ineffective or with strong side effects. With the public losing trust in the government and with no immediate solution in sight, many stayed at home to minimize the chance of getting infected.
Now is a great time to tell them about Falun Dafa and its health benefits. Some people around me began to ask me about Dafa cultivation because they felt that no amount of wealth could compare to health in the face of the pandemic.
Many of the people who understand the facts and support Dafa have escaped infection, and they are not afraid of the virus. Some said that they keep reciting the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” They feel at ease and believe in Dafa more and more.
There are also people who have suffered the consequences of the CCP’s mismanagement, and they gradually understood the CCP’s evil nature and became receptive to our truth clarification.
Regrettably, while the public is waking up, many of our fellow practitioners came down with the virus, some even with severe symptoms.
I saw that many of these practitioners did not look inward after the symptoms appeared, but thought that it was normal; some even said that everyone had to be infected in order to coexist with the virus. In that case, what is the difference between themselves and non-practitioners? How can they save sentient beings when they are infected themselves at the critical moment?
In terms of how to deal with the virus, Master has explained to us very clearly in the Fa. Our gong can eliminate the virus. How can we still be taken down by it? If one comes down with the virus due to certain attachments, one should immediately search within and rectify oneself, rather than acknowledging this state. If it’s because one has slacked off in cultivation for a long time and has fallen behind, then it’s exactly the time to make up for it.
There are also some practitioners, including practitioners who are doctors, who recommended remedies to non-practitioners. I personally think this is also inappropriate.
I feel that those remedies are for non-practitioners to pass around, but for Dafa disciples, our mission is to save people, for the fundamental salvation of their lives. Non-practitioners’ aging, sickness, and death are part of their karmic cycle, and there is no need for Dafa disciples to interfere.
If a person truly understands Dafa and sincerely recites the auspicious phrases, they can naturally stay away from calamities, and the abnormal state of being infected can be corrected. There is no need for us to promote the low-level methods that do not cure the root cause. While we may still introduce those remedies to our family and friends, I feel that we shouldn’t spend too much effort promoting those treatment options on a large scale.
The mission of Dafa disciples is to save people. We should not divert our attention to things that have nothing to do with our mission.
