(Clearwisdom.net) More than one thousand Taiwanese practitioners were denied entrance into Hong Kong. Some practitioners are very angry. Some even say it is a version of the July 20, 1999 incident. I think this understanding shows we have not recognized the difference between persecution and Fa-rectification.
Compared to the July 20 incident, this incident is different in nature and scale. The July 20th event was when the evil launched an overwhelming persecution. Currently, they are only taking advantage of our loopholes and struggling to resist Fa-rectification. On July 20, 1999, the enormous evil bore down. Dafa disciples were able to survive because Teacher suffered all the genuinely malicious things from the evil. Now, Dafa disciples are pursuing and wiping out the remaining dark minions and rotten demons. All that remains of the evil are ashes, yet they still refuse to accept the fact that they cannot continue the persecution and struggle to live to the last moment.
Hong Kong deported a large number of Falun Dafa practitioners because the evil is afraid of Falun Dafa practitioners. It is not because the evil is that strong. With the spreading of the truth about Falun Dafa and the progress of Fa-rectification, the situation of the entire three realms is different from what it was eight years ago. Teacher has told us about big changes between the righteous and the evil in other dimensions after we started sending forth righteous thoughts.
The same phenomenon occurs with Falun Dafa disciples in Mainland China. When some practitioners see other practitioners arrested, hear the evil circulating documents, or hear rumors, they think a new wave of persecution is coming. They treat the phenomena in one small area as a global issue. In doing so, they accidentally encourage the evil and encourage the evil's arrogance. They think the evil is strong and controlling the whole situation when, in reality, the evil is taking advantage of the loopholes of practitioners. They treat the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners like persecuting ordinary people. If we still keep these notions, it is the same as accepting and indulging the persecution. How can we complete our mission to save sentient beings and only save a few relatives and friends?
