8. [Shandong Province] Request to Falun Dafa Practitioners in China to Send Forth Righteous Thoughts

About a month ago, there was a major crime committed in the southwest region of Shandong Province. Over a dozen people in a family were murdered. Local residents have been horrified and no one dares to leave home at night. Some people have taken advantage of this murder to try to frame Falun Gong. Recently this rumor, which frames Falun Gong, has spread to the Zhumadian and Xinxiang areas in Henan Province, where local residents don't dare to leave home at night either. Whenever there is a problem somewhere, it is necessary for Falun Dafa practitioners to clarify the truth. It's up to Falun Dafa practitioners to hold firm belief and carry out the three things of clarifying the facts, sending forth righteous thoughts, and studying the Fa. Only in this way can we correct the environment around us, eliminating the evil and benefiting sentient beings.
