(Clearwisdom.net) When I clarified the truth to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) village secretary, I talked about the CCP's corruption and killing, which are described in the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and Dissolving the Party Culture. He agreed with me, and he even shared his understanding of the evil nature of the CCP. When I talked about quitting the CCP, however, he got a little agitated and disagreed, saying that this idea was started by Falun Gong. He said Falun Gong practitioners in his village talked at too high a level and that offended him. He said they talked about doom and dying, and that their Teacher was the highest being, and so on.
Sentient beings also have righteous thoughts. They are waiting and watching for us to save them. So when we clarify the truth, it is better if we do not talk at too high of a level. We also have some attachments that we need to let go of. We need to stop feeding these attachments and creating conflict, as that will only lead to people misunderstanding us. The Secretary also said that if practitioners did not perform well, that it would affect many people.
This matter touched me deeply, so I have written down my feelings to share with fellow practitioners so that we can do the three things well and harmonize well what Teacher has asked us to do.
Teacher talked about not talking at too high of a level when clarifying the truth in "Fa Teaching Given to the Australian Practitioners." Also, I do not think it is appropriate to discuss Teacher and the Fa with everyday people, as it could be disrespectful to Teacher. The more you discuss these things, the more difficult it may be for people to understand. Teacher also mentioned dying in the "Fa Teaching Given to the Australian Practitioners." I enlightened that Teacher has urged us to forge ahead more diligently and save more sentient beings, but to not publicize it among everyday people.
It is hard for practitioners to clarify the truth and do other related efforts. We do not want people with predestined relationships to lose the opportunity to be saved due to our impulsive words and deeds. Teacher mentioned that teaching by setting a good example is also important. One practitioner said that they printed copies of Dissolving the Party Culture, but nobody helped to distribute them. Teacher responded that distributing the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and Dissolving the Party Culture are necessary. So we must take advantage of the Fa's tools wisely. In addition, be careful not to say anything that everyday people may think is not believable.
