(Clearwisdom.net) When I began polishing articles for Clearwisdom.net seven years ago, I felt quite honored and excited, knowing that this kind of work is also a small portion of my cultivation path. The work was initially quite difficult. I had been a writer for a long time and had seen several of my own writings published. Trying to put the translated articles into proper English and not lose the meaning of the Chinese writers' phrases was daunting at first. The accounts of abuse, torment, injustices, oppression and deprivation were horrid. I did not know if I could deal with this, day after day, often for over seven hours. The stories were gruesome and depressing. But then I realized that Master would not have put this in my way if I could not handle it. I decided to stick with it.

One of the early things I was privileged to work on was the "Women of Conscience Report." I had shared this report with several non-practitioner women friends. We drafted a resolution, signed it and submitted it to Clearwisdom. It was published. Following that we distributed the "Women of Conscience Report" to local churches and civic organizations, such as teacher groups and senior centers. All these good people took it upon themselves to contact their local legislators, to raise awareness. That enthusiasm encouraged me to continue to expose the persecution and to continue the polishing work, no matter how atrocious the incidents in these reports might be.

Translation requests from other Dafa websites soon followed, and other writing and polishing work as well. Those tasks have been minimal lately, but the Clearwisdom work has never stopped coming. And, the stories are getting more unbelievable, more abominable and the incidents described are outright devastating. Occasionally I would entertain the notion to simply quit this work, that I'd had enough of putting into proper English descriptions of man's inhumanity to man. Those unbelievable but true accounts occasionally make my stomach turn.

Working with such horrors as torture and organ harvesting takes new courage each day, to keep my emotions under control. It also requires tremendous focus on the teachings of the Universal Law by thorough daily study and clear comprehension of those teachings. As things seem to be coming to a head in China, it is tempting for me to entertain a non-practitioner's notion and become emotional, thinking in terms of retaliation against the abusers and to avenge the victims, and itching to get this resolved. But that is not my place. Master has told us that nothing happens in isolation; that all things happen for a reason. I must trust these words, because at my level of cultivation I cannot see the relationship between these events. Until Master resolves everything for the best, I will continue to polish.
