In a Few Words: Practitioners' Statements Affect Everyday People’s Statements

I often hear German fellow practitioners say that German politicians do not like to declare where they stand in public. Even when they support Falun Gong, they usually look at what other people do and say. Indeed, Germany is well-known for its conservative approach. However, being Dafa disciples, we also understand that our energy field can influence our environment. Looking at my surroundings, I see many Dafa disciples quietly doing a lot of good deeds; their understandings of the Fa usually enlighten me as well. Nevertheless, when I suggest they write down their understandings, many people say that they don’t have time, or they can’t write. Some even say they don’t want to develop attachments such as showing off and zealotry, or they fear other people may think their understandings are at a low level.

I think if we ourselves have so many scruples, and don’t want to frankly and sincerely speak out, and form a negative field, how can we make everyday people speak out frankly and sincerely?

I didn’t write a lot before now; recently I enlightened to writing my thoughts as a part of validating the Fa and rectifying the Fa. The disciples’ every article, even though only a few words, can contribute to worldwide Dafa disciples forming one body. Its righteous power is a strike at the evil. Everything should be viewed from the angle of Fa-rectification. When I understand this principle, I no longer consider writing articles as an extra burden excluded from Dafa work, but firmly believe that writing articles is essential and noble Dafa work, just the same as dealing with any other Dafa work, I give all my attention to and seriously do my very best with every article.

I see the national characteristic also deeply influencing this region’s Dafa disciples. German people are dependable, steady and do not indulge in exaggerations; this is a good side. However, in the Dharma-ending Period the negative factors of their character are also strong. This also effects how they support Dafa publicly in a clear and Honourable way. We Dafa disciples decide for ourselves in this human world. The important thing is to look inside ourselves; remove the negative influences that hold us back. By doing so we can encourage everyday people to be more clear-headed, and use their words and actions to establish a good foundation for their future.
