(Clearwisdom.net) After reading "Exposing the Role of the Chinese Communist Party in the Persecution of Falun Gong Is Saving Sentient Beings" (http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/12/4/55239.html), I enlightened to many things.
I remember my Fa study experience one day at the end of 2000. I was studying "Your Mind Must Be Right" in Zhuan Falun.
"Usually, when there are many evil spirits in other dimensions, my fashen will clean them out for you. His room, however, was full of different bad qigong books. He came to understand it and cleaned it up by burning the books or selling them. My fashen then returned. This is what this practitioner told me."
At that point I looked around my room and thought, "I do not have Qigong books." But I saw the books about the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that I used to collect. I like reading books, and I was polluted by the environment in Mainland China. It was "natural" that I accepted these books. After I obtained the Fa I came to understand that these theories, such as the philosophy of struggle, the theory of fight between social classes and the theory of proletariat dictatorship are against the universal principle of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance." To be a true Dafa practitioner I need to get rid of everything that is not righteous. Therefore I burned some of the books and sold others, including the books my father used to read.
On April 25, 1999, I participated in the appeal at Zhongnanhai and in 2000 I went to Beijing two times to validate Dafa. At the end of 2000, I was expelled from the CCP, but I was not moved and continued my cultivation. As far as I know, at one neighborhood office, among the dozen or so practitioners who were jailed there for going to Beijing to validate Dafa during that time, there were 6 or 7 CCP members. During the illegal detention, they were brutally beaten, hung up, handcuffed, forced to stand under the sun, tortured in other ways, and fined from 1,000 to 6,000 yuan before they were allowed to go home. They were later expelled from the CCP. All of them were over 50 years old. In the first half of their lives they worked hard with no complaints and they were the role models at work. You can see from this that the CCP does not have any humanity. It is a purely evil spirit of "Deceitfulness, Hatred and Strife."
We understand from the Fa principles that this is Fa rectification cultivation, which is different from any religious cultivation or belief. We Dafa disciples coexist in the world with Master during Fa rectification. We are undertaking the great historic task of eliminating evil, clarifying the truth, and saving beings. But, in this world, this "dark spirit from the west" - the CCP - is still poisoning people.
Jiang and the CCP use each other to persecute Falun Gong. It is a manifestation of the crimes conducted by the evil spirit in this world. Only by eliminating this evil ghost can we save beings faster and more extensively. After realizing this, when I sent forth righteous thoughts one morning at 6:00 a.m. two weeks ago, I added one thought: "to dissolve the CCP evil ghost, and to dissolve and eliminate the evil field of the CCP in this world." Perhaps because my righteous thoughts were not strong enough, I was attacked by the evil. One morning I was on the bus to my mother's home when suddenly I felt a pain in my lower back. I could not stand straight, but I forced myself to stand upright anyway. When I went home in the afternoon I lay down and could not turn my body. I felt it was interference. I struggled to get up, practiced the exercises, sent forth righteous thoughts on the top of every hour, and continued to practice after sending forth righteous thoughts. Two hours later I could turn my body, but I still could not stand straight. My lower back was stiff and numb. For the next several days I spent more time studying the Fa and managed to eliminate a deep and unconscious thought - my human notion that to offend the CCP is to be involved in politics. I grasped the basic point that to eliminate evil is to save beings. One week later, the symptoms in my lower back totally disappeared. I felt that my body has recovered and is very light.
The above is what I have enlightened to at my level. Any compassionate suggestions are welcome.
