(Minghui.org) Master said:
"Indeed, it should be sued (enthusiastic applause from the disciples); all of humanity should sue it. It has harmed all Chinese people, as well as many people in other regions all over the world. So many people are going to be dragged into Hell because of its lies." ("Fa Teaching Given at the 2015 New York Fa Conference")
I understood from this Fa teaching that we should all file lawsuits against Jiang Zemin—the one responsible for launching the persecution of Falun Dafa.
Dafa practitioners continue to clarify the truth through the media or on an individual basis. But how can we more effectively clarify the facts to all 7 billion people in the world? It is indeed difficult. But if Jiang is put on trial, the lies he spread about Falun Dafa would be revealed.
Thus, when sentient beings come to know the truth, they could be saved.
When the Minghui website began publishing lawsuits against Jiang from practitioners in China, I understood that suing Jiang was part of a cosmic change. It is a new step in Fa-rectification, and all practitioners should follow suit.
Since I did not know how to file a lawsuit, I read the published lawsuits on the Minghui website from other practitioners, who described their horrifying experiences during the persecution. I thought that although I was not in China and did not suffer detention, torture, etc.—as did practitioners in China—I was still a victim of the persecution because I was not able to visit my family members there for more than ten years, and my phone conversations with them were monitored. I was even insulted by some tourists from China when I spoke to them about Falun Dafa. What's more, I was on the Chinese Embassy's black list.
These incidents are also persecution that result from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) lies.
Hundreds of millions of people benefitted from Falun Dafa, both physically and spiritually, before the crackdown began. The practice delivered good results for the society and the country. Yet it was slandered and persecuted for no reason. As a beneficiary of Dafa, it is therefore my duty to stand up for Dafa.
Remnants at the Surface
When I began to write my complaint against Jiang, I was not thinking about any possible safety issues for myself or my family members. However, all of our attachments, even the small and subtle ones, will be exposed over time.
Another practitioner asked me to add her name when she learned that I was preparing to sue Jiang Zemin. When I asked for her address and age, she seemed to understand differently than me. "Do we need to give all these details?” she asked. “Aren't you afraid that your family members in China may get into trouble?”
"We are following the Divine's will," I said. "What we are doing is the most righteous thing. Who dares to persecute us?"
She agreed.
My righteous thoughts were very strong at that moment. But soon afterward, my human attachments surfaced, and I started to ponder whether this act could indeed bring trouble to my family members. Although I still decided to move forward, the disturbance occurred. I suddenly felt very tired. I forgot my righteous thoughts, so I just tried to get some sleep.
I usually just lie down without changing my clothes. Somehow, this time I went to the closet and took out a sleeping robe, which I had not used in several years. My hand slipped into the pocket, and I felt something inside.
When I took it out, I could not believe my eyes. It was the Falun pin, which had been lost for many years.
The pin was given to me by another practitioner when I began to help with Shen Yun promotion. I was thrilled at the time. I treasured it very much and only wore it during important activities.
My heart ached after the pin disappeared. I even asked Master to find the pin for me. I was very sad, and I thought my cultivation must have been so bad that I was unworthy of having a Falun pin. Whenever I remembered it, I felt bad. It cast a shadow in my heart.
The surprise recovery of the Falun pin cleared up the shadow in my heart. I knew this was encouragement from Master, who was telling me that I was doing the right thing in suing Jiang.
