My Thoughts on Why Practitioners Cannot Access Minghui

(Minghui.org) Some fellow practitioners in my area have recently been unable to circumvent the internet censorship and access the Minghui.org website. I would like to share my thoughts on this. Please kindly point out anything inappropriate.

I believe that “making Minghui inaccessible in China” is a form of persecution by the old forces. If we agree that the reason we cannot access Minghui is because of the internet censorship, it means we accept the old forces’ persecution. Then, nothing will work, either sending righteous thoughts or looking inward, since we are already following the old forces’ arrangement.

Master said:

“When you encounter ordeals during your cultivation, you have got to cultivate yourself and look at yourself. That doesn’t mean you are acknowledging the ordeals arranged by the old forces and trying to do well amidst the ordeals they have arranged. That’s not the case. We negate even the very emergence of the old forces and everything that they’ve arranged; we don’t even acknowledge their existence. We’re fundamentally negating all of their things, and all of, and only, the things you do while negating and getting rid of them is mighty-virtue. It’s not that you’re cultivating amidst the ordeals they created. Rather, you are to walk your own path well while not acknowledging them, not acknowledging even the elimination of their ordeals’ manifestations. (Applause) So looking at it from this angle, what we need to do is completely negate the old forces. Dafa disciples and I don’t even acknowledge the manifestations of their last-ditch efforts.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2004 Chicago Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IV)

My understanding is that the way to deny the old forces’ arrangement is to simply not acknowledge it. See through and deny all the falsehoods created by the old forces! If we follow what Master and Dafa ask of us, Master will be able to help us, and we will be able to negate the arrangements by the old forces.

However, it is easier said than done.

Master told us:

““I’m Li Hongzhi’s disciple, I don’t want other arrangements or acknowledge them”—then they won’t dare to do that. So it can all be resolved. When you can really do that, not just saying it but putting it into action, Master will definitely stand up for you. What’s more, there are lots of Fa guardians around Master, there are lots of Buddhas, Daos, and Gods, and there are even greater beings, and they will all participate, because forced persecution that’s not acknowledged is a crime, and the cosmos’s old laws don’t allow it either—irrational persecution absolutely is not allowed, and the old forces don’t dare to do it if that is the situation. So you should do things as righteously as you can.” (Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003)

I would like to share my own experience.

One day ten years ago, I suddenly had the symptoms of a “stroke” and half of my body was numb. At that time I thought, “I am a Falun Dafa practitioner—how is it possible that I would have a stroke? It is not true!” Although the old forces created many symptoms that manifested in my body, I just didn’t admit it. I continued sending forth righteous thoughts for about 20 minutes, and most of the symptoms were gone. But the old forces didn’t give up, and I couldn’t speak clearly. I simply denied their arrangement, and finally I was back to normal. I realized that once I admitted that I’d had a stroke, I would be taking the path arranged by the old forces.

Over the past few days, I couldn’t access Minghui.org. I believed it was an illusion created by the old forces. Two days ago when I went online, the six servers helping me break the internet censorship were down. Then I restarted my computer, and all the servers were up. I started to browse the website and download files. While my file was downloading, I checked how many servers were still available, and it indicated none! However, my files were still downloading and I could send emails too. I realized that it was an illusion. Master enlightened me to get over the acquired notion that seeing is believing.

Another time when I couldn’t access Minghui for a few days, I sent forth righteous thoughts in front of my computer. I felt that the powerful righteous thoughts had disintegrated something on the top of my head, and I became very clear minded. I realized that the thing that prevented me from accessing the internet had been dissolved. I immediately connected to the internet, and visited the Minghui homepage after I ran freeGate. That day I browsed Minghui for a long time and downloaded many files.

We have to be clear that the old evil forces shouldn’t use our shortcomings as an excuse to interfere with us. We can only be rectified by the principles of the Fa.

Master said:

“What could human beings possibly do to divine beings? If there were no outside factors, would human beings dare to do anything to divine beings? How human society unfolds is nothing but the outcome of high-level beings controlling things. When you’re compared with those Dafa disciples who have strong righteous thoughts and have done well, [I have to ask,] can you really not raise your ultimate understanding of Dafa beyond this human plane?” (“In Fa-Rectification Your Thoughts Have to Be Righteous, Not Human,” The Essentials of Diligent Progress III)

Based on the teachings, I realized that the web police were under the control of evil old forces—no ordinary people would dare to block Dafa websites. We shouldn’t focus on what we see on the surface, because the old forces control some people’s behaviors on the surface. When we clear away the evil in other dimensions, we also save people. This might be one of the reasons why some practitioners couldn’t access Minghui no matter how much they sent forth righteous thoughts.

I hope fellow practitioners can break the old forces’ illusion of not being able to access Minghui, rectify our every thought, and eliminate the evil that created the illusion. If we can do it, we not only elevate in our cultivation, we also help people to browse Falun Dafa websites, learn the truth, and be saved.
