In a Few Words: My Understanding of Shan

Among everyday people, if a man is always ready to help others for a just cause, straighten his back and voice for the interest of his country and people, without caring about his own safety, he is conducting great Shan. However, this is only referred to maintaining the interest of a group and a country for a short period of time. When facing personal loss and gain, if a cultivator is able to “not fight back when you are beaten or sworn at”, he is conducting great Shan. If, however, he could safeguard the truth of the universe, he would be conducting much greater Shan. The sabotage of the universal Dafa at the level of human beings has ruined the future of countless people’s lives. It has also created an unimaginable consequence for a country. Numerous people are still deceived by the lies. They think Jiang Zemin is maintaining the so call “social stability”. Many predestined people have missed the opportunity for cultivation. If, simply because of our personal notions, we are not willing to discard our own habits, to expose the direct villainous peacebreaker – Jiang Zemin and to help those who are facing horrible endings in the future, where is our benevolent compassion as cultivators?

The exposure of Jiang Zemin’s sins is completely different from the blame among everyday people. In order to protect their own interest, everyday people blame others regardless of facts, regard what is good as bad and cover their dirty conducts in the dark with superficial kindness. In contrast, our exposing Jiang Zemin is based on the large amounts of facts collected in the past few years. It can clearly distinguish what is righteous from evil. It is good for others. It is to offer salvation to sentient beings. Certainly, in order to clarify things better, we should adopt the manners that are acceptable to ordinary people as much as we can to reason with sufficient facts and rationality so as to let people truly understand the villainies done by Jiang Zemin.

The “Shan” of everyday people, which is derived from personal selfishness, is never comparable to the mercy of a god. Falun Dafa is a heavenly law, which creates the environment for all the beings of every level in the universe to exist. In the human world, however, it is libeled as an “XXX” by the lying and deceitful political rascal who is playing politics. If we are attached to the superficial kindness of everyday people and do not comply with providence to protect the truth of the universe with various kinds of means, doesn’t it deviate from “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”?! It is genuine Shan only to firmly stand up for the truth of the universe, expose Jiang Zemin’s sins and let people know the facts.
