The European Clearharmony website can contribute to reveal the truth to the whole world

During an experience-sharing session, a fellow practitioner mentioned that Master said in his article To the Clear Harmony Website of Europe, “Quantity-wise, most of your articles should be about Europe, and then you can round things out with important information from the Clearwisdom Website on Dafa practitioners in Mainland China. By doing so, Europe’s Clear Harmony Website will not only have its own features, but also important news on the persecution of Dafa, and your local audience and readers will pay attention to it and be able to learn information about the persecution of Dafa practitioners in Mainland China on a daily basis.” In the article Master also said, “Also, you should realize the effect media has on the general public.” At the time I kept asking myself if I had truly realised the effect that Dafa website has on the general public. I recall that a Clearharmony editor once told me, that if we do not report the actions or record the experiences after each Fa-rectification activity, then the cultivation process is an incomplete one. Often I share a same experience with fellow translators: In truth-clarification we tend to value the means of leaflets, faxes, telephone calls, and Internet chat rooms, etc. However it is easy for us to oversee the influences of Dafa websites. In Mainland China there is a bunch of loyal readers of Dafa websites. They are from the Security Department and the Chinese Embassies in various countries. All the articles what we write or translate provide with a chance to save these people.

During the experience-sharing session the fellow practitioner repeatedly mentioned this article of Master’s. I believe that I need to do some serious thinking regarding if I have “realized the effect media has on the general public”, and if I have been truly devoted to Dafa websites. For fellow practitioners, the websites can contribute to improve them as a whole and to help the Master in this physical world. For those who are supposed to obtain the Fa in the future, the websites can clarify the truth to them. For the evil forces in other dimensions, the websites can suppress the vicious powers. For each word and sentence we write, they record the history, as well as reflecting the responsibilities that we bear for Dafa and for ourselves. I feel ashamed of the fact that since I obtained the Fa I have only written one article regarding the Hong Fa activities I attended in other countries. The rest has been a big blank for me. Despite of the fact that I am able to rack my brain to achieve beautiful rhetoric for my work in the ordinary world, I have been submitting literally nothing to Master regarding my cultivation experiences. For the time being I really ought to be serious about this issue, because cultivation actions themselves are much more important that theoretical talking.

During quite a few discussions after the Fa-study, the editors have always mentioned that we should help the practitioners to understand better the value of Dafa websites, so that we can improve as a whole and keep up with the Fa-rectification. Through my recent Fa-study, I suddenly realised that I had not seemed to be paying much attention to “cultivating”. This is quite a serious matter, because if I am not able to cultivate myself well, not only would I influence negatively on the sentient beings in my own cosmic system, but also other practitioners and the beings in their cosmic systems. As soon as I realised it, I have been able to grasp each single selfish thought of mine, and to endeavour to eliminate the bad thoughts according to the requirements of the Fa. Apart from this, I have also awakened better to the issue of “Cultivation is one's own business, while the evolution of cultivation energy is done by one's master". This principle not only manifests itself through individual cultivation, but the whole Fa-rectification process. Indeed the principle applies to all the work we do for the Fa-rectification, because “Once Buddha nature presents itself, it shakes the Ten Directions of the universe. Whoever sees it will come to his help unconditionally. Buddhas save people without making a condition, without asking for anything in return. They can help people unconditionally.” Only when we manage to put theories into action, can we prevent interferences from happening among European practitioners, can us European practitioners improve as a whole, and can the Clearharmony website truly function. Therefore I believe that we should all calm our minds and study the article To the Clear Harmony Website of Europe, and share our experiences afterwards.

Regarding the issue of breaking through the old forces’ arrangements in Europe in terms of the barriers caused by various countries and different languages, my understanding is that as Dafa practitioners we should first of all break through such a concept itself as well as the linked barriers on the surface level. During the European Hong Fa activities in last October, some Taiwanese practitioners felt that, though Europe is sub-divided into many countries on the surface, the journeys between countries are as short as those from north Taiwan to south Taiwan. However some European practitioners even cannot break through this barrier and only deal with Hong Fa activities in their own countries.

Looking at the issue from the opposite side, we can make good use of this arrangement in terms of the construction of the European Clearharmony website. If practitioners from all different language backgrounds can value the function of Clearharmony, and if we can join all these languages together, we are then able to cover almost all the different languages spoken in the world. In other words, the European Clearharmony website can contribute to revealing the truth to the whole world.
