An Understanding I Gained While Clarifying the Truth

I was recently writing letters to clarify the truth. I wrote one letter to the top leaders of China. I talked about some of the facts surrounding the persecution of Falun Dafa and called for the end of the persecution and the restoration of Dafa's reputation. During the process of writing this letter, I felt a lot of demonic inference and I also came to some understanding from it. Here I am writing this understanding down to share with fellow practitioners.

Before writing this letter, the first obstacle was fear. I was afraid of running into trouble, revealing my identity to them, and being implicated. The second obstacle was laziness. Even if I had quite a bit of time, I still didn't want to start writing. Later, I intensified my study of the Falun Gong teachings and realised that it was still my attachment to "fear" that was affecting me. I realised that if this situation continued, the dark minions would take advantage of my attachment and keep me in this situation for a long time, so that they could then succeed in their plots and hide their dirty deeds of persecuting Dafa. I then increased the amount of times I sent forth righteous thoughts. A few weeks later, I was finally able to pick up the pen and finish the letter in one try.

For safety consideration (it was all hand written), I went to another city far away from my residence to mail the letter. The weather was very good on that day, but just after I left home, it became very windy. The gusts of wind mixed with dust and sand kept striking my eyes and it was hard for the wheels of my bike to keep on course because of the wind. I almost thought I was going to be thrown to the ground. I enlightened ot the fact that this was interference. It was their final struggle. I sent forth righteous thoughts while going ahead steadily. Eventually, I arrived at the intended destination and mailed the letter. On the way back, the wind reduced and the dust and sand was no longer in my eyes.

Afterwards, I could see that the evil is in their final stage and that is why they frantically try to create all kinds of trouble for Dafa practitioners' efforts to clarify the truth about Falun Gong. Such a state highlights many Dafa practitioners human notions when doing specific tasks, especially when doing large scale truth-clarification work. However, the more we feel that we don't want to do it, or are afraid of doing it, the more we should do it, because this feeling indicates there are many evil forces around trying to stop you, and once we do it, it means the complete elimination of those evil forces. If we don't do it, it exposes a notion that we should get rid of. That notion will be eliminated when we complete the task.

Teacher has talked about truth-clarification and saving people many times,

"Only Dafa disciples of today's Fa-rectification period are able to do that as they validate the Fa, only they are worthy of doing that, and only they are allowed to do that." (Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference)

I thought this was because Dafa practitioners came from very high levels and have good inborn quality and great abilities. Through my experience of truth-clarification and writing this letter, I realised that my previous thoughts were wrong and were actually quite bad. They contained many human notions, the biggest one of which was the show-off mentality and complacency. Isn't thinking of oneself as coming from a high level a shameful mentality and leans towards the attachment to showing off? Now I truly understand that Teacher was saying that it is only because Dafa gives practitioners have such great courage, wisdom and virtue that they can do that. In other words, only Dafa can create such superb beings.

The above is just my personal understanding. Fellow practitioners please kindly point out anything improper.
