How to Clarify the Truth to the Mainland Chinese – Suggestions to Overseas Practitioners (part 2)

Fully Utilize Short Messages

It is not easy to clarify the truth to a passer-by. It would be sufficient, however, to make the public aware of the fact that we are being persecuted, that the “self-immolation” events have been created by Jiang Zemin and that the killing cases are false. It is most convenient to show people these facts by using short messages, such as a slogan, etc.

Further Improvement

1. As Dafa is sacred and priceless, we shall neither just clarify the truth by using the “SOS” theme nor shall we leave the public with the impression that all we do is stop people on the street and distribute flyers. We have to be aware that Falun Dafa is sacred, and that we are not selling a product on the street. We must first use our righteous thoughts, and then the way we behave, think and dress shall reflect the status of being solemn, benevolent, sublime and sacred. We shall make ourselves easily understood by the public by stating the truth. This in turn will save the public, but we shall not beg for sympathy.

2. We should utilize posters and slogans, which will allow pedestrians to come to know about Dafa. Many people learn about Dafa by seeing how we as individual practitioners behave and act. Only saying “Falun Dafa is good” or “Falun Dafa is righteous” will not allow people to come to know more about Dafa; and we cannot clearly explain what Dafa is in a few words. However, people come to know what’s good and what’s evil by seeing and hearing that the self-immolation in Tiananmen Square was made up by Jiang’s regime, and that Falun Gong was implicated by this event.

Posters and slogans have played important roles in Chinese history; one’s will, position, and intention of major historical events were expressed via such tools. Take this quote: “Beat the landlord, divide the land”. This was easily understood and accepted by the general public. Although we are not dealing with politics, we may take advantage of how easy this method is to use. Without a stark theme, people are unable to realize why we are holding our activities and what they are about. At the most, from their point of view, we are just having a parade.

3. To take normal logical thinking into consideration. In Mainland China, when we have no idea how to clarify the truth to someone whom we have just met and do not know of his/her stand or point of view towards Dafa, we can sometimes simply pick one piece of news and say, “Look, Falun Gong interrupted the satellite again. It says that the insertion of the TV program was about the real situation of the self-immolation in Tiananmen Square. It also says that the self-immolation events were falsely made up….” Very soon everyone knows the right and wrong as we have a normal logical way of thinking – “why was the satellite attacked? Oh, yes! The insertion was about the real situation of the self-immolation.” The person would realize that the self-immolation events were faked, and then the public would be more curious about the reason behind this event and about Dafa. We should utilize the rumours and the attacks that are created by Jiang’s regime, and turn them into a truth clarification opportunity. Our objective is to stop the persecution in a way that allows all people to understand.

I often receive emails from Dafa practitioners. As a cultivator, I can understand their content. However, were the mails received by the general public, the same content would not be easily understood. As long as the fake is understood, the truth will naturally be known.

The above is for suggestion and reference only. Please point out any mistakes.
