My Straightforward Understanding of "Completely Oppose Everything Arranged by the Evil Forces"

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher said in "The Knowing Heart," "Follow Teacher closely, steadfastly cultivating Dafa." I understand that following Teacher closely and taking every step well in the path of our cultivation is "completely opposing the evil forces." What should we do as practitioners when facing difficulties? For example, someone said that on "October 1^st " (China's National Day), Jiang will do such and such to us -- should we accept all this in our minds, or should we base our judgment on Teacher's Fa?

Teacher said: "Just by having your heart unaffected you will be able to handle all situations." (Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s) ). The evil forces are becoming more rampant as they approach their end. The more rampant they are, the closer they are to being completely eliminated. No matter how the evil forces plot or manifest, if Dafa disciples hearts can remain unaffected, and we can firmly believe that our path of cultivation has been arranged by Teacher, that the evil forces are not qualified to test us, and we do not accept the so-called tribulation in our minds, then have we not followed Teacher closely in terms of the principles of the Fa?

As new lives endowed by Dafa, we should face the evil forces' arrangements with righteous thoughts, and completely oppose everything that is not righteous, or that does not conform to Dafa. If we accept this kind of test, we are already amidst the tribulation. Teacher didn't arrange this for us. Teacher wants to save all sentient beings. It's actually the evil forces persecuting us. When we accept it in our minds, we are actually asking for it. When we have weak points in our understanding of Fa's principles, the evil will take advantage of them.

As practitioners, doing Fa- rectification is sacred and serious. Can every one of us use righteous thoughts to eradicate everything that is deviated or not correct? Can we break through all the evil forces' arrangements from the depths of our minds with righteous thoughts? If every one of us can achieve this, and can eliminate all the evil forces from within us, won't the overall form of Dafa be even better?

Please point out anything in my understanding that is incorrect.
