My Reflection On the Recent Events in Flushing, New York

June 19, 2008

(Clearwisdom.net) As I witnessed the CCP-exported, Cultural-Revolution type of conduct in Flushing, New York, I observed it with a peaceful heart. It is easy to understand why the CCP attempted to create conflict to sustain its evil energy. The Flushing event appeared quite vicious, but it is only the frenzy before the CCP's demise. The victims are the sentient beings.

What Should We Do?

Listening to bystanders under the influence of the CCP propaganda, you could clearly feel that those people were manipulated by evil, as they were not rational. It was difficult to clarify the truth to them. It was more effective sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil. During the parade, the CCP thugs began shouting and stirring up trouble.

I remember a story one practitioner told me. On one occasion a high-level CCP official visited their city. This practitioner wanted to send him a message. She first began practicing at home. The first time, there was no reaction from her family. She did it again and again, and almost lost her voice. When her family told her that she was ready, her compassion came out. The next day, her "Falun Dafa is good!" made the entire noisy crowd quiet down immediately. That is the awesome power of the Buddha Fa! She set aside her human heart to convey her message successfully.

Determine Whether You are Diligent or Not

I remembered several large-scale evil-eliminating activities during the Fa rectification, including the Manhattan project. Practitioners from all over the world came to eliminate the evil with their righteous thoughts. Many times the situation changed and they had to go to another "battlefield." Unable to notify their families or workplaces, they went to the new field with undivided attention.

There are many touching stories from practitioners during the Fa rectification period. I remember during the time when practitioners from Changchun were suffering severe persecution. One Western practitioner stayed in front of the Chinese consulate in Toronto for several days sending forth righteous thoughts. When practitioners wanted her to go home to take a break and take a shower, she replied, "This is the best cleansing." A veteran practitioner saw at the time the gods in heaven were shedding tears. At the time, many practitioners went to Germany to eliminate the evil. The practitioners who were unable to get visas stayed and took turns intensely sending forth righteous thoughts. During this Fa conference in New York, when we saw the evil act up during the parade, we did not go to Flushing but returned home, and gave the evil a chance to take a breath.

Eliminate the Evil with Righteous Thoughts, and Compassionately Save Sentient Beings

When the main perpetrator, Jiang Zemin, came to Houston that year, we stayed on both sides of the highway sending forth righteous thoughts. Chinese people who were manipulated by the evil held CCP flags and attempted to seize our place. It was pouring rain and the evil was concentrated. We stood our ground, eliminated the evil with righteous thoughts, played "Pudu," and exercised in between. We could all feel the strong energy field, and the people controlled by the evil began to leave.

For the two days in Flushing last weekend, I could feel my heart flutter the first day. I have not seen such concentrated evil for a long time. Even though I was sending forth righteous thoughts I was not able to concentrate my attention. The next day, we adjusted our states, and exercised with peaceful hearts. Our peaceful and auspicious field influenced people, and there were no disturbances like the day before. Our continuous sending forth righteous thoughts changed the people who did not know the truth and were manipulated by evil, and they listened to the truth.

Seize the Moment to Clarify the Truth

No matter how frenzied the evil becomes, it cannot change its final end. When making phone calls to China, it is not as difficult as before. Our continuous efforts clarifying the truth towards China will eliminate the evil, and will save more precious Chinese. Dafa practitioners are one body, and we will use the wisdom from the Fa to save people. I had a thought in the past, that when I met someone difficult to communicate with, it would be easy to make him understand by telling him about disasters. In reality it is different. When disaster strikes, their lives are in chaos. After many years of brainwashing, the Party-mother complex is stronger, with one-sided media news. It is even harder to clarify the truth, but we have to do it. Saving people is an extremely urgent matter.

Keep Up with the Pace of Fa Rectification

After the organ harvesting story broke, we acted too slowly. The CCP was able to move the practitioners held in Sujiatun and invite outside people to visit. Our banners did not catch up with the pace of events. When people watched the CCP TV media, it was even more difficult for them to believe us. During the Fa rectification, things happen at a fast pace, and if we miss an opportunity, we might miss the chance forever. We have to seize the moment and make the best of it. Of course, whenever an event occurs, we need to understand it on the basis of the Fa, for only then can we keep up with the pace of Fa rectification. It is still a matter of cultivation--studying the Fa well and cultivating our hearts are still the most important. That is the key that helps us keep up with the pace of Fa rectification.

Please kindly point out shortcomings.
