(Clearwisdom.net) Many fellow practitioners who recently went to Germany to eliminate the evil factors that control the head of the evil realized that their trip was not only the responsibility of the practitioners who were then in Germany, but also the responsibility of all Falun Dafa practitioners worldwide acting as one body. The evil arranged this test for Falun Dafa and for practitioners as one body. Although we do not acknowledge the arrangements made by the evil forces, if we allow loopholes to exist in any part of us as a whole, it will invite the evil force to make use of those gaps through persecution.

Those practitioners who went to Germany continuously sent forth the righteous thoughts despite all kinds of interference such as the cold and fatigue, the manifestation of deliberate persecution by the evil. This caused the quality of the righteous thoughts that were sent out was not very high, which made it difficult to truly eliminate the evil. From the perspective of individual cultivation, every fellow practitioner should fully realize the importance of sending forth righteous thoughts, of continually purifying themselves, eliminating interference and strengthening their righteous thoughts. However, if we had coordinated ourselves better as one body, and all Falun Dafa practitioners around the world had participated in simultaneously sending forth righteous thoughts along with those fellow practitioners who were doing so from a close distance, the results could have been totally different.

The last time we were in Germany, practitioners acted as individuals according to each person's personal understanding. Some unfurled banners while others shouted, "Falun Dafa is good" These individual acts startled and frightened the evil and was highly effective in clarifying the truth. Sometimes, however, because we did not think of ourselves as one body, we could not bring the power of our righteous thoughts into full play. As individuals, each of us may do quite well. Based on our own enlightenment, we have clarified the truth and clean out the evil. But as one body, are we meeting the requirements of Fa-rectification? If we neglect the enormous strength of the entire group and lack a clear concept of our behavior as one body, then we remain unaware of the gaps that have formed between individuals, and these gaps will be used by the evil.

Master said, "You are one body, just like Master's gong. Of course you and gong aren't the same thing, I'm just giving an example. It's just like my gong, which does different things at the same time." (Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa Conference)

I have come to the understanding that practitioners' every thought and action while placing Dafa and the entire body above all else, is actually suffocating the evil and eradicating the arrangements made by the evil, as well as strengthening ourselves as one body. If we can persist, we will become indestructible and solid like a diamond.

The above is my personal understanding. Please kindly correct anything that is improper.
