(Clearwisdom.net) When Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples truly act with righteous thoughts and righteous actions based on the Fa, we can do even better in clarifying the truth, saving sentient beings, eliminating the evil, and rescuing fellow practitioners (for those who have not stepped forward, been arrested, or are suffering persecution in incarceration). Recent cases in Mengyin County, in which the CCP aggressively persecuted and harassed Dafa practitioners, appear to be desperately serious. In fact, it is no more than a last-ditch struggle put up by the evil that will inevitably be eliminated by Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts! Fellow practitioners, this is a precious opportunity. While we absolutely do not acknowledge the evil persecution under the excuses of practitioners "not cultivating speech," "not cooperating," "pursuing comfort," and "not stepping forward," we must also cultivate ourselves well. What is steadfastly believing in Master and Dafa? We must maintain righteous thoughts: I'm Master's disciple, and I will only listen to what Master says. I do not want any arrangements made by anyone else and will not acknowledge the old forces themselves. I will not even acknowledge the manifestation of their last-ditch struggle and their destruction. Fellow practitioners in Mengyin County, let us completely let go of fear and different human attachments, keep righteous thoughts and righteous actions, and cultivate ourselves as one body without omissions. Then there would be no space left for the evil to exist.

"What's not a right mind? It refers to a person's inability to always treat himself as a practitioner." (Zhuan Falun) As Dafa disciples who have made it through the difficulties and challenges over the last ten years, what do we do in this new round of hysterical persecution? As long as we keep strong righteous thoughts, it will be clear what a truly cultivated great Buddha, Dao, and God would do. We are all particles of the Fa as one body--who can be outside of it? Master has told us about the purpose of the existence of the three realms and that currently everything is for the creation and preparation of Dafa disciples to be the greatest beings. Then when we look at our actions, I have to say bluntly that some practitioners have unwittingly "set off" and "strengthened" the evil (When you are afraid of evil, you are already asking for it; if you think it is "vicious" then it will manifest a false image of being very vicious, making you feel helpless. Some practitioners even think sending forth righteous thoughts--the divine power Master has given us--is "useless." This is really a serious issue!)

There are also problems of finger-pointing among practitioners, looking down on each other, cooperating half-heartedly, and being indifferent, which are all elements that the old forces have arranged and we have not let go of. Are we still holding onto these human attachments in the final moment of the last stage? "Fear" is a fatal attachment! With fear of dropping down, one will drop down even though one has achieved the status of Arhatship. "Fear" has prevented practitioners from stepping forward; "fear" has prevented some practitioners from doing the three things or doing them well. We are all veteran disciples, but some of us still follow the coordinators of practice sites or the "assistants" in their actions, holding a strong attachment to relying on others. Gods will feel sad when seeing such a situation!

Every Fa-rectification-period Dafa disciple will need to walk his/her own path according to the requirements of the Fa and achieve what we need to achieve, otherwise, we will not be worthy of the title. Then how can we fulfill their pre-historic pledges? There are more than 500,000 people in Mengyin County, and among them, tens of thousands are Dafa disciples. What is the situation now? For those practitioners who always wait and see, always rely on others and confine themselves in their narrow state of mind, instead of stepping out, do you realize that you are in the great Fa era, but if you cannot fulfill your sacred duty, isn't this also ignoring your own life? "Once the illusion that you cannot let go of disappears, you will realize what you have lost." ("Practicing Cultivation After Retirement" in Essentials for Further Advancement)

According to the Minghui report from March 17 to 19 of this year, the 610 Office and the police in Mengyin County harassed and arrested many practitioners. Almost all practitioners on the blacklist in Mengyin County were arrested and their homes ransacked. Some practitioners once had a dream in which they saw Master pulling Dafa disciples forward in sweat, while the police were whipping them from behind. I'm not mentioning this to acknowledge the old forces' arrangements, but to share and remind us: Isn't it because we have numerous human attachments that the current situation now exists in Mengyin?

Through studying Master's teachings, we learned that gods in heaven are sparing no effort in rounding up and destroying the remaining evil. But when the evil presents itself to us, some of our practitioners become scared. They have not only failed to clarify the truth with compassion and strong righteous thoughts but have also allowed the authorities to rampantly ransack their homes.

Of course, most of us have been sending forth righteous thoughts, and some even think they are doing very well, but is this really the case? If we had relentlessly forged ahead under all circumstances, then the recent frenzied persecution would not have happened. We need to let go of the attachments that have manifested among us after the arrests of fellow practitioners and the destruction of material sites! We must have faith that, "When disciples have ample righteous thoughts Master has the power to turn back the tide." ("The Master-Disciple Bond" in

Hong Yin II)

We have come through the most difficult times, with our firm belief in Master and the Fa, yet we must not allow ourselves to become slothful and content. Master told us, "The closer to the end, the more diligent you should be." We must use righteous thoughts to protect the precious truth-clarification materials and our fellow practitioners; cherish and make the best use of every single copy of the materials; and distribute them in places we have not been before so that we do not waste materials. Besides, we should also be magnanimous toward and tolerant of fellow practitioners, and no longer "belittle" ourselves, saying, "I can't do this" or "I'm unable to do that." (This is, in fact, a human notion that disrespects gods--our true selves). If we do not study the Fa well and fail to understand the Fa on the basis of the Fa, the gap caused by "a wrong decision made in a moment of weakness" is far more than just a thousand miles--it will affect countless beings in the colossal firmament!

I truly hope those fellow practitioners who have not stepped forward or who have not done well quickly catch up, let go of selfishness, and melt into the whole body. Let us do even better in eliminating the evil in our anti-persecution efforts, make haste to save even more people who have been deceived by lies, and rescue our fellow practitioners with righteous thoughts. Let our validation of the Fa shine with infinite brilliance.

I believe that "the rain for nights on end is nothing to worry about:" the more rampant the evil, the sooner it will be eliminated!
