Thoughts on NTDTV's Broadcasts Being Disrupted

July 8, 2008 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) The evil's disruption of New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) has interfered with saving sentient beings. But what surprises me is that when something that critical happens, and one of the projects of our whole body is being damaged, a large number of fellow practitioners are still concentrating on their own projects. They have not taken this matter into consideration. This can be seen from experience sharing articles on this matter published on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. This is a reflection of our state as a whole regarding NTDTV, which deserves everybody's deep thinking. Here I would like to share two of my understandings:

A field is needed for having a foothold in this world

"In order for anything to have a foothold in this world, to be able to hold up, and establish itself, there has to be a key factor: It has to form a field in this dimension, a field that materially exists." ("Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Europe")

NTDTV has a foothold in this world, but it requires Dafa disciples to treasure it, and they should "doubly treasure it," because it is a Fa tool for every one of us to eliminate evil. Some fellow practitioners mentioned a metaphor, which is quite thought provoking. They said, "It is like the old forces daring to damage Dafa books. It was because many Dafa disciples did not treasure the Dafa books. So it is with NTDTV." Our overseas Dafa disciples have contributed so much energy and capital--if we do not attach great importance to protecting and promoting NTDTV, it will be equal to wasting Dafa's resources. Thinking about this really saddens me!

Requirements for our practitioners at different stages are different. In the beginning, it may have been enough that only some practitioners paid attention to it, but with the progress of Fa-rectification, it currently requires the attention of all practitioners, particularly the practitioners in mainland China--we cannot let our resources go to waste this way.

Passive waiting and active harmonizing

We noticed a problem. When many NTDTV viewers (including fellow practitioners) found that they were unable to watch NTDTV, they went to the practitioners (or non-practitioner technicians) who originally helped them install it. When the practitioners who helped install it heard that the problem was with Eutelsat, they waited for practitioners at NTDTV to negotiate with Eutelsat. Everybody has been in "waiting" and "expecting" but not looking within, or the thought of "looking within" passed by in an instant. Because their thoughts were not steadfast, it was hard for them to find their own problem, so they would think, "I have looked within, but I was unable to find my problem. Let's solve the problem at the human level first." This is tantamount to our missing an opportunity to cultivate. Why do we wait for and depend on a few practitioners at NTDTV? Isn't this something that concerns our whole body? Isn't it a matter that concerns everyone of us? When we are waiting for others, shouldn't we think it over and ask ourselves: "Is everybody else waiting for me to change my lazy attitude of waiting for and relying on others?"
