Each time we step forward, it is as if we are stepping forward on April 25, 1999. Each time we step forward, it is as if we are stepping forward on July 20, 1999. Each time we step forward, it is as if we are heading towards Tiananmen Square.
Our stepping forward may look like nothing special in this dimension. But in other dimensions, it is indeed magnificent. Each time we step forward, it is a manifestation of the mighty power of the Fa [the laws and principles of Falun Dafa]. Each time we step forward, it is a concentration of the righteous force. Each time we step forward, we are assisting our Teacher in his Fa-rectification. Each time we step forward, we are accelerating the process of spreading the Fa.
Our stepping forward is not as simple as coming out of our homes and distributing flyers. It is more important for each of us to realize that our responsibility is to help all kindhearted people know the truth of Falun Dafa so that they will distinguish between the righteous and the evil and place themselves in right positions. When all the kindhearted people know the truth and join the righteous, the evil will disappear naturally because it can find nowhere to exist.
When we hesitate, please think about it: When some contact people in China were arrested, some other practitioners would step forward, saying: "We will be the new contact people!" When they were arrested, still other practitioners would step forward ... We overseas practitioners are not facing the same difficulties as those practitioners in China, so we should voluntarily step forward because our responsibilities are as great as those practitioners in China.
Let's step forward together, taking part in each important activity and treasuring each opportunity for us to improve ourselves together.
Let's step forward together, breaking out the limitation of individual cultivation, and contributing to the majestic Fa-rectification. Let's not be concerned with our personal gain or our own consummations. Let's join the process of spreading the Fa.
Let's step forward together, breaking out the superficial human concepts of worldly politics. Let's learn to upgrade our Xinxing [the nature of the mind or the heart; moral character] according to the need of the process of Fa-rectification, instead of letting our own attachments slow down the process.
Let's step forward together, broadening our mind from local activities to the needs of the whole world, the needs all of mankind, and the needs of history, and spreading the Fa to more people, countries, and nationalities.
Let's step forward together, helping people in the world using the rationality, wisdom, and benevolence that the Fa has bestowed us.
Let's step forward together, fulfilling our glorious task of assisting the Teacher in his Fa rectification, and help perfect the universe during the Fa-rectification.
Let's step forward together, with the same selflessness and dignity of the courageous practitioners in China -- those who stepped forward on April 25, 1999 and July 20, 1999, and those who go to Tiananman Square to this day.
