(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher said in "Teaching the Fa at the Fa conference at the U.S. Capital,"
"Even though the overall state of affairs has undergone huge changes, the pressure [of what lies] before you hasn't lessened. Saving people right now is an urgent matter; there are still many people who haven't seen the truth."
I came to realize the urgency and that the reason we all cultivate in the ordinary people’s society, rather than going deep into the mountains or temples, is to make it more convenient for us to save people. I realized the significance of this responsibility. At present, our main focus is to help more people withdraw from the CCP. The following is my personal understanding. Fellow practitioners, please share your thoughts.
Do a good job in clarifying the truth so that everyone is aware of the evilness CCP
When I clarify the truth online, sometimes people have already agreed to withdraw but they ask, "Why do you say it is an evil party? Where does the evil come from?" Others have already withdrawn through other practitioners. They got my contact information through other practitioners. They ask me why they should make the declaration. Therefore, I developed the thought that I would use every possible means and channel to widely expose the evil deeds of the CCP and do a good job in clarifying the truth so that people not only make the declaration but also condemn the crimes of the CCP in China! During the Organ Transplant Conference in Boston several months ago, a German doctor and his wife had a conversation with a doctor from Tianjin. This doctor from Tianjin told them that there were 2,000 liver transplants at his hospital. The German doctors thought that that was incredible because in all of the hospitals in the entire country of Germany there were only 700 transplants. If we can widely expose the live organ harvesting and how the CCP suppresses the Chinese people, more Chinese people will hear about it. More people will have a bad opinion of the Party, and more will withdraw from it.
Use VCDs and the telephone in rural counties to promote the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and withdrawing from the Party
The poor in the cities and villagers in rural counties often dare to speak the truth and dare to expose the evil deeds of the CCP. We need to actively clarify the truth to them. From the Clearwisdom website, I read about practitioners in China who hang truth-clarifying materials everywhere. When they read the materials, the villagers widely spread the words. As a result, more groups of people requested to withdraw from the CCP. In addition, practitioners in China can distribute VCDs of the "Nine Commentaries". Taiwan practitioners can ask practitioners in Hong Kong or friends who travel to Mainland China to help us by bringing phone books from the different cities, so we can call those villagers or the poor in cities.
Work with the media, interview victims persecuted by the CCP
We can provide our local media outlets with stories to help convince people to withdraw from the CCP. I heard that the Sound of Hope and The Epoch Times both interviewed people regarding withdrawing from the CCP. Many stories are very moving and will help people understand that withdrawing true is truly for their own well-being. Consequently, more people will expose their experiences of being persecuted by the CCP and provide their stories to our media. There have been very touching cases during our efforts to convince people to make the declaration. After I wrote several articles about this, our media used the articles to produce audio programs to broadcast into China. If more practitioners can provide this kind of story, many people would like to listen to them. This is also a very good way to increase the number of people who withdraw from the CCP.
On another note, I'd like to share my experiences of clarifying truth online.
1. It is not difficult to clarify the truth online. One practitioner in China copied VCDs on his own and was about to distribute them. On his way, the police dragged him away. He thought that the VCDs should not fall into the hands of the authorities and become an excuse for torture. He pinched them, and they all shattered. Facing the persecution, practitioners in China have great compassion, tolerance, and righteous thoughts and deeds. This touched me deeply. We don't need to risk our lives. Our environment is relatively relaxed. But we should be alert and cherish the convenience to clarify the truth. Clarifying the truth online is not difficult, as long as we enlighten to the importance and urgency of saving sentient beings from the Fa. We then will be able to break through any blockages.
2. Coordinate as a whole body and help each other. Practitioners from technical teams often help us maintain computers or install programs. Other practitioners produce teaching programs and make truth materials to help others. They often sacrifice their own time to directly clarify the truth. We are a whole body. No matter what projects we are doing, it is actually a very important step. Therefore, we cannot take it lightly. We did not divide up the work in clarifying the truth. After practitioners gave people in China our contact information, they subsequently watched our films, data, and electronic files of the Nine Commentaries. They were truly shocked! They all said that they would spread the truth to more people and expose how the Party is to deceive the Chinese people. This way we achieved a better effect of clarifying the truth. After practitioners made phone calls, many people wanted to learn the exercises. We can also provide the whole set of materials online.
3. Improving xinxing is the key to saving sentient beings. I understand Teacher's Fa lecture, "Teaching the Fa at the Fa conference at the U.S. Capital" to have meant that we often feel we do not have enough time. I asked myself if I took "doing things" as cultivation? A while ago, I had a conflict with another practitioner, who said that I did not act like a practitioner! At that time I felt very miserable as I could not find where I had gone wrong. In my heart I had always used Teacher's Fa to understand the conflicts between this practitioner and me. I thought to myself, "When Teacher sees us have an attachment, I understand Him to have said that it could not be said that the practitioners were not diligent or that they were not cultivating. How can you say that I did not behave like a practitioner?" This thought filled my heart. When I thought about it this way, I saw myself truly not behaving like a practitioner. Teacher asked us to look within. How can I be a practitioner if I don't follow Teacher's words? I immediately realized that I had not passed this test. Teacher asked me to constantly let go of the human heart and attachments. If we cannot improve our xinxing, the status of our cultivation obviously will affect our truth clarification.
Right now the time is very precious for us. Any attachment will distract us and waste our time. We therefore must be strict with ourselves. Saving sentient beings is an urgent matter! Let us grasp every moment!
