(Minghui.org) Editor's note: Practitioners in mainland China have often been unable to access the Internet, or had poor access to the Internet for some time now. Practitioners are all looking for “What prevents us from surfing the Internet?” The following are thoughts that three practitioners learned from Dafa principles and their practices, to be used as references.
My Understanding of Poor Internet Access
By Lian, a practitioner in China
I have often been unable to access the Internet in the past two months. I began to form a concept: “The evil party is blocking the Internet again for some reason.” I resolved them sometimes by (human) methods such as restarting the computer or router. But as time went on, I felt something was wrong and that I should think about the problem from the perspective of the Fa.
Master said:
“There’s a large number of world-class scientists among the Dafa disciples. We have the ability to break it. They have never been able to block the Minghui website!” (“Teachings Given on Lantern Festival Day, 2003”)
Are we having problems in trusting Master and the Fa? Whenever I turn on the computer and cannot access the Internet, I think, “It is blocked again!” One person thinks this way, two people think this way, and many people think this way. Aren’t we creating a dark substance called “Internet blocking”? Is it our ideas that cause the network to be blocked?
Master said:
“As a practitioner, if you always think that it is an illness, you are actually asking for it. If you ask for an illness, it will come inside your body.” (Lecture 6, Zhuan Falun)
We should completely negate the interference of the old forces, regard the temporary inability to access the Internet as an illusion, and use righteous thoughts to clear away this substance that blocks the Internet.
As Dafa disciples, let us all change our concepts. Let us believe in Master and the Fa, completely deny the interference of the old forces, and use righteous thoughts to eliminate all evil beings and factors that interfere with the normal operation of the network.
My level is limited. Please correct me if there is anything not in accordance with the Fa.
What Prevented Us From Going Online?
By Jinxin, a practitioner in China
I have recently found it very difficult to access the Minghui website. Occasionally, I was connected to the Internet, but I could’t open the website. I waited patiently for a long time but it still did not work. I was frustrated. So I quieted down and studied the Fa for a while. I checked the Internet when I thought of it. I continued studying the Fa for a while, and I checked again. It’s been like this for several days. Sometimes I did connect to it, but the website couldn’t be opened. I finally opened the website today and saw experience sharing articles on Minghui.org from some practitioners who had the same problem.
So, what is preventing us from accessing the Minghui website and hindering us from helping Master to rectify the Fa? Why do I have difficulty in accessing the Internet? It has become an obstacle for me.
Master said:
“A notion, once formed, will control you for the duration of your life, influencing your thinking and even the full gamut of emotions, such as your happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.” (“Buddha Nature,” Zhuan Falun (Volume 2))
After the concept of difficulty to access the Internet is formed, a certain thought karma is created. It is a substance and alive. It interferes with our access to the Minghui.org website, and prevents us from connecting with Dafa disciples around the world. It creates an obstacle that blocks our way forward.
One person unable to access the Internet only affects one person. But if a group of people think this way, what a huge obstacle it will create. It will create a large amount of material and have a significant impact on our cultivation. There is also interference and destruction from the old forces. Both factors need to be eliminated in time. When I send forth righteous thoughts, I purposely add the thought of “eliminating the old forces that interfere with practitioners’ access to the Minghui website.”
In cultivation, we must refer to Dafa on everything to see whether our words, deeds, and thoughts are in line with Dafa. Only by doing so can we cultivate and march forward on the path to the divine.
One Thought Breaks the Web
By a practitioner in China
I have seen fellow practitioners sharing their experiences on breaking the Internet on Minghui.org recently. I roughly know that the evil Chinese Communist Party has begun a new round of Internet blockades and interference. The past blockades had little impact on me. When interference came, I resolved it quickly by sending forth righteous thoughts. Therefore, the network has been relatively stable over the past few years.
But something unusual happened today. I couldn’t open the website no matter what. Sending forth righteous thoughts seemed to be of no use. As time went by, various thoughts emerged, like “Try another software?” “I feel a little sleepy today.” “This network blockade is indeed serious.” My mind sent forth righteous thoughts, but my thoughts were becoming less righteous. I realized that I couldn’t follow these disturbing thoughts, so I increased my efforts and continued to send forth righteous thoughts.
It suddently occurred to me, “Isn't this a good opportunity to eliminate evil? It’s not easy to find the evil normally, but today I want to see how long you evil spirits can last? However many come, I will destroy.” With just this thought, in less than a second, the web page opened automatically and the blockade was broken.
I thought this incident might be an inspiration to fellow practitioners, so I wrote it to remind fellow practitioners not to be restricted by the concept of blocking. The truth is that the evil interferes behind the scenes and exploits loopholes in our thoughts. The evil cannot last for a second when we have sufficient righteous thoughts.
Please kindly correct me if you see anything not in accordance with the Fa.
