Use the Fa to Measure Things
By a practitioner from China
Reading Master's recent commentary was an impetus for me. I stepped forward to do truth clarification relatively late, and through intensive Fa study, I found the big gap between myself and those practitioners who are doing the three things well. Those practitioners who have steadily been doing well have strong righteous thoughts and persevere in Fa study. However, in our local area there also exist some phenomena that Master mentioned in His commentary. For cultivators, it is actually easy to identify things that are not righteous. The method is very simple—study the Fa more, use the Fa to measure things, and on important matters, pay attention to the attitude of Minghui.
Master's commentary is a wake-up call for us. We will do our best to fulfill our vows.
Resist Individuals Collecting Funds in Xinyu, Jiangxi Province
By a practitioner from mainland China
Headed by someone named Ouyang, certain individuals in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, have recently been collecting funds on a large scale among local practitioners, even though others have tried to dissuade them. In addition, they publicly vilify the Minghui website.
Ouyang and his team publicly collect money from local practitioners, claiming they need to raise large sums of money to help Dafa disciples' orphans who have been rescued and taken overseas. The amounts collected ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 yuan, for a total of about 100,000 yuan. If practitioners refused to contribute or were confused, the collectors used threats or intimidation, telling them they would “go to hell” or “would never reach consummation” to get money out of them. One elderly female practitioner withdrew 10,000 yuan from the bank. Her daughter, a non-practitioner, got very angry and wanted to report it to the police. This conduct violates the principles of Dafa cultivation, seriously damages the reputation and image of Dafa, and may result in adverse consequences.
Certain individuals also openly attack and slander Minghui by quoting out of context the article “On Important Matters, Practitioners Must Pay Attention to the Attitude of Minghui,” which announced that same instruction from Master. They told practitioners not to read Minghui but to read the evil's controlled website instead.
Master has repeatedly emphasized not to collect funds from practitioners and thatm on important matters, to pay attention to the attitude of Minghui. Recently Minghui published the editorial, “Overseas Disciples Should Not Interfere with Disciples in Mainland China” and again reiterated this issue.
We really should study the Fa with a peaceful mind; dig out our selfish characteristics that conform to the old universe; rectify our standpoint; let go of fear, pursuit, and the attachment of taking shortcuts; do the three things well; and walk the last steps of Fa-rectification cultivation righteously and steadily.
I hope practitioners in Xinyu City can more thoroughly expose and boycott this activity that continues to expand and worsen and do not let the evil take advantage of our loopholes.
“Boycott Minghui” Is an Essential Part of the “Transformation” Process in a Brainwashing Center
By a practitioner from China
The Hubei Province “Legal Education Center” is actually the Tangxunhu Brainwashing Center in Wuhan City. The staff there specialize in “transforming” Falun Gong practitioners. Gathered there from different labor camps and prisons by the CCP's judiciary department, they have not only studied psychology but can also recite many Falun Gong articles and are considered the “transformation elite.”
These “specialists” have copied the "transformation" tactics used by Masanjia Forced Labor Camp and have honed their skills to accomplish their evil ends. Their strategy: 1. Crush the practitioners' will, so that they will be “transformed,” accept the evil thinking, and become the tools of those in charge; 2. Slander Falun Gong and Master, boycott Minghui, and force practitioners to renounce cultivation; 3. Use those who have given up cultivation as collaborators to betray fellow practitioners, and use those who have been “transformed” to “dig out” truth clarification materials sites. It is thus clear that “boycott Minghui” is an essential “transformation” point in the brainwashing center.
