Do Well the Three Things Requested of Us by Master, and Righteously Walk our Path of Fa-Rectification By Xin Ming, a practitioner from China
(Clearwisdom.net) When fellow practitioners do well the three things requested of us by Master,
miracles can sometimes occur, which further reminds us of Master's boundless compassion and
unfathomable might. In this article I would like to share some recent experiences with overseas
practitioners. Because the police confiscated all of his Dafa books when they ransacked his
home, the practitioner could not study the Fa when he came home. To retrieve his books, he went to
his local "610 Office" (an agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with
absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary
systems) and sat in front of its gate to protest: "I won't leave until you return my
books." Left with no choice, the "610 Office" notified the practitioner's local
Residents' Committee Office to arrange a pickup. When a representative from his local Residents'
Committee arrived, the practitioner's answer remained the same, "If you don't give me back my
books, I will sit in front of the 610 Office." At last, officials from the Residents' Committee
found a few Dafa books and secretly gave them to the practitioner. In March of this year, this practitioner was again abducted when he was handing
out truth-clarification literature. When police inquired about the origins of the literature, he
replied, "I will never tell you that, but I was just about to give these to you." Then he
took out a few truth-clarification flyers and gave one to each police officer. "Here, please
take and read these. They have your names on them." Baffled, the police called the local "610 Office." The practitioner was
then transferred to another police station, where a few policemen ganged up to slap his face and
kick his legs. He again told them, "It is no use. I still won't tell you a thing." Without
a choice, the police station soon released him. After he returned home, he thought, "That can't
be right. I must expose the evil." The following morning he took a camera to the police station
and said, "I want to take pictures of those of you who beat me yesterday, so the entire world
can witness your brutality." The police didn't dare hit him again. They seized his camera,
confiscated the film inside, and demanded the practitioner leave. After this incident, many
practitioners asked him if he felt any fear at the time. He replied, "Why should anyone be
afraid?!" There are many other similar cases, and I am touched by the stories of our fellow
practitioners. Words fall short of depicting our Master's boundless compassion and might. I am also
deeply moved by fellow practitioners' adamantine will of letting go of life and death displayed
during their cultivation. "All of you are already aware of the principle of mutual-generation
and mutual-inhibition. If you are not afraid, the factor that would make you afraid will
cease to exist. This is not to be self-imposed, but is achieved by truly and calmly letting go of
it" ("Eliminate Your Last Attachments," Essentials for Further Advancement II).
"...That looks like human conduct, but in fact it's not. That was because she reached that
point through cultivation and truly arrived at that realm--'Now that you've arrested me, I haven't
thought at all about going back. Now that I've come here, I've come to validate the Fa.' So the evil
was scared" ("Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa
Conference"). The reason these practitioners did so well during these trials is because they
have always kept in mind the instructions of our Master -- tell people the facts of the
persecution, send forth righteous thoughts, study the Fa well, and cultivate well. During this last
phase of Fa-rectification, we must cherish every passing second. We must harbor a calm mind, search
for omissions within ourselves, study the Fa well, and in the end completely melt into the Fa. Let
us do well the three things requested of us by Master; let us righteously walk our path of Fa-rectification,
and let us not let down Master's merciful undertaking of saving sentient beings. Fellow practitioners, please kindly point out anything inappropriate. Posting date: 8/21/2003 |
