Punishing the Evil with Supernormal Powers By a Dafa Practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Since some practitioners have shared experiences on the
Clearwisdom website about how to handle the vicious beatings with righteous
thoughts, I'd like to share my views on this issue also.
1. The evil people are not worthy of beating us
The evil forces control thugs to beat up Dafa practitioners. This is an
insult to Dafa and we definitely cannot accept this. This is not at all an issue
of practitioners eliminating their own karma. We should clarify this point. The
persecution of Dafa practitioners is arranged by the old forces and imposed on
Dafa practitioners, with the purpose of harming and even destroying the
practitioners. Moreover, Teacher will have to endure more for practitioners this
way. So my personal understanding is to stop such kinds of things from happening
with all of our abilities. Of course, when the actual events happen, the
situation can be quite complex. However, I think our understandings should be
quite clear, and we must do our best to achieve this goal.
2. We can use supernormal abilities to protect ourselves
When the Teacher addressed the subject of martial arts, he mentioned types of
high-energy matter and powers that come out right at the beginning of
cultivation, which can be used to protect ourselves. Then, today the abilities
that practitioners carry are far beyond these things, so we can easily protect
ourselves with these abilities. I understand that when we encounter the physical
torture imposed on us Dafa practitioners, we could think about protecting
ourselves with our own abilities and eliminating the evil at the same time. Many
practitioners have mentioned in their experience sharing articles that they used
their supernormal powers to resist the persecution, such as making the electric
current reverse and shock the evil people holding the baton. Of course, the
application of our supernormal powers is closely related to the level of our
xinxing (moral character, mind nature), as well as how strong our
faith is in the Teacher and in Dafa. As practitioners, if we face the vicious
people with human hearts, our supernormal powers cannot function properly.
When we are beaten, our human side should not cooperate with the evil. Our
divine side should eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts and use our
supernormal powers to punish the evil beings as well. To stop their evil deeds
is also to be compassionate to them. This is not to protect the individual, but
instead to safeguard Dafa, as we are all Dafa particles.
This is only my personal understanding. If there is anything wrong, please
point it out with compassion.
