Bear in Mind Forever

Dafa Society:

I suggest that every disciple immediately, on the spot, destroy everything that I have not publicly issued but that are in circulation without permission, such as: my speeches that came out of Chengde; what a practitioner from Beijing said about supernormal capabilities; the speech of the assistance center director in Dalian; the cave story from the director of Guizhou assistance center and other speeches; not to mention the speeches made by people in charge of different regions; what was said by practitioners after seeing me; the speech given by people in charge of the Dafa Research Society, and so on, plus texts, recordings, videotapes, etc., that are transcribed from my speeches without permission. All these must be destroyed on the spot, and they cannot be kept regardless of the excuse. What is "protecting Dafa?" This is most thoroughly a protection of Dafa, and an examination of whether you can follow what I tell you and whether you are truly my disciples! Let me tell everyone once again that the Dharma taught by Buddha Sakyamuni was sabotaged this way. This is a lesson in history. From now on, nobody should tape-record or videotape speeches given by any of the people in charge in different regions or by any disciples; even less can they be edited into texts or be spread around for people to read. This is not a problem of any particular person, nor is this criticizing any person in particular here; instead, this is rectifying Dafa. Bear in mind: except for Dafa practitioners’ experience-sharing conferences for studying the Fa and activities organized by major assistance centers with the endorsement of the Research Society, anything that does not belong to Dafa but is being circulated in Dafa undermines Dafa.
