(Clearwisdom.net) Whenever ordinary people who haven't learned the truth accuse Dafa disciples of participating in politics, fellow practitioners deny it with a lot of explanations. Our explanations have been trapped in a certain logic. In fact, it is because we haven't truly understood “politics” in the ordinary world. Master has taught us that “That warped version of 'politics' is a rod used to attack people.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference”) In the eyes of modern Chinese people, all appeals or protests fall into the scope of politics.
Dafa disciples assist Master in Fa-rectification and are cultivators with a mission. Saving people is our duty. If politics can save people, it can be utilized. If all the leaders and officials in every country were Dafa disciples, society would benefit so much. The key is that we aren't attached to politics.
Master said in “Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference:”
“If people can be saved through politics, though, then we can make use of that form--what would be wrong with that? I said a moment ago that everything in the Three Realms was created for Dafa, developed for Dafa, and came for Dafa.”
It is only that we haven't truly understood the magnificence of Dafa.
When the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party was published, some practitioners didn't realize its significance. Therefore, I gave this example: In “Investiture of the Gods,” the gods were primarily disciples of the Primitive God of Heaven. Jiang Ziya led all gods to help King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty (1152-1056 BC) to fight King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. Wasn't that “getting involved in politics” according to the modern definition? In fact, it was done to save those people harmed by Daji and King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty. In addition, the battle was fought with divine powers.
If people accuse us as “getting involved in politics,” then our type of “politics” is not pursuing reputation or self-interest, nor does it pursue power or rank. It is also free of political dealings. We don't resort to violence and only clarify the truth. When people learn the truth, they can make their own choice between kindness and evil. When people choose kindness, they are saved. When people choose kindness, the evil is disintegrated.
The disintegration the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) will save people. If we are often influenced by the notion of politics, how can we save more people? The Buddha Fa created lives on different levels. It should have its dignity in the human world. Mainland China is the main battlefield of the Fa-rectification. Whether we can save more people and how we can save more Chinese is the responsibility of Dafa disciples. The opportunity is available only once; Master has told us so. Whether Mainland Chinese practitioners can realize this issue is important.
I have been wanting to write down my sharing, but have been hesitating. Today I have finally written it down to share my understanding for the sake of our overall improvement.
