Reading "Facts of the Persecution" with Righteous Thoughts

Nov. 7, 2003

(Clearwisdom.net) In the past, when reading Clearwisdom articles, I didn't like to read the articles from the "Facts of the Persecution" section and sometimes just skipped them. When I did read them, I felt uncomfortable, especially when reading brutal torture cases.

Later, after I read more and more, I started to feel that the persecution cases were far away from me and I became callous to them. Since I didn't think of it with righteous thoughts and wasn't clear from the Fa's perspective, it encouraged my fear and prevented me from clarifying the truth about Dafa and doing Fa-rectification work.

It went on like this until one day a fellow practitioner helped me to enlighten to it. I realized through studying the Fa that I should treat the persecution facts with strong righteous thoughts. This is a serious and sacred act for practitioners who can read Clearwisdom articles each day.

For every single Dafa disciple who is trapped and being persecuted in evil dens, it is a battle between him and the evil in the universe. Every single case has to break through layer upon layer of blockages before it can possibly get to Clearwisdom. Dafa disciples are one body, so how could we look on those persecution facts with fear or even be insensitive?

After realizing the importance of "Facts of the Persecution," I now pay full attention to these articles with a clear mind. At the same time, I send forth my great righteous thoughts to eliminate the old forces' covert helpers and evil in other dimensions to lessen the persecution Dafa disciples are facing, no matter how far away it is.

Although I can't see other dimensions, I believe in the importance and necessity paying attention to the "Facts of the Persecution" section. Since then, I no longer have the negative mentality I had before. Every time I read "Facts of the Persecution," I hold strong righteous thoughts and feel as if I am with those being persecuted.

Once I saw a photo of the Wanjia Forced Labor Camp, and I felt that my powerful gong was sent there immediately. Just as Master said,

"However strong the righteous thoughts are, that's how great the power is." ("Also in A Few Words")

The above is my personal understanding in Fa-rectification.
