(Clearwisdom.net) In the process of looking for a job and working, I came to realize that as long as a practitioner has his mind set on the Fa, Master will make the best arrangement for this practitioner. The practitioner will then be capable of achieving anything. The following are my experiences during this recent period.
I started practicing Falun Gong in 1998. At that time I was working in a state-run enterprise. On April 25, 1999, I went to Beijing and joined other Dafa practitioners from all over the country to appeal to the government for Falun Gong. After the evil persecution of Falun Gong practitioners started, the management of the enterprise I was working for received orders from the Party to closely watch me. The management used some despicable means to carry out this order. For instance, they had people follow me, and they opened and checked my incoming and outgoing mail.
My mind was once disturbed due to very high pressure. Through learning the Fa and discarding my attachments, I slowly got through this difficult period with firm steps. Later, I read Master's Fa lectures wherein Master mentioned that Beijing is where the evil in other dimensions is most concentrated. Even though the evil elements are diminishing in other places, Beijing is still continuously replenished with evil spirits and rotten ghosts. I then had a thought that I should go to Beijing to strengthen the righteous elements there. After I had that thought, the enterprise I was working for happened to go through a restructuring. I took this opportunity to resign and went to Beijing.
After I arrived in Beijing, because I could not apply the knowledge I had acquired during my previous employment, I participated in computer training classes and learned some additional skills. During the following several years, I used those skills in several professions and accumulated many different experiences. During this period, I also met many fellow practitioners who had come to Beijing with the same intention. After sharing and discussion, we came to understand that as Falun Gong practitioners in the Fa-rectification period, we are shouldering great responsibilities.
Some time ago I read Master's recent Fa lecture, "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital." Master taught:
"The focus for you right now is simply to find ways to do better, to be more efficient, to have a greater impact, and to save more people."
I thought, "The time is really urgent, what should I do to more effectively save people and let more people know about the truth?" I decided that only by contacting more people could I clarify the facts and have a more significant effect. I then resigned from my job again and searched for professions such as a sales representative, managerial work, teacher or lecturer. In the process of looking for a job, I had all kinds of thoughts, including, "My education level is too low, can I get the job? I had never done this kind of work before, would I be competent enough?" I had many worries at the time. Through studying the Fa, I came to understand that these worries were unnecessary, and that they were a manifestation of my human notions. Because the three realms were created for the Fa, in this period Dafa practitioners are to play the leading roles. As long as I keep my mind pure and righteous, and focused on the Fa, I can do these professions at will. I was not only looking for a job, but I was a Dafa practitioner who wanted to save people and was thus choosing a convenient environment. After I upheld righteous thoughts, several employers from these fields asked me to come for an interview. I took a position as a lecturer in a professional training institute without any difficulties and this job provided me with quite a few conveniences. Currently, I have been working there for a week.
At the beginning, because I was not used to the new working environment, I felt somewhat lost and did not know what to do. Looking at the students whose eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge, I felt somewhat lacking in confidence. But I then thought that since a teacher teaches morals as well as knowledge and clears the minds of students, I should not only teach them professional skills, but also teach them how to be good human beings, and help them understand the truth. This way, I walked onto the teaching stage and started teaching the knowledge and skills I had acquired.
The day before yesterday, a student came to my office to chat. Soon after we started chatting, I naturally started clarifying the truth. After we chatted for more than an hour, the student left happily. Through this event, I started to understand that the evil elements controlling people in other dimensions are becoming fewer and fewer, and people's understanding sides are beginning to play a certain role in urging people to look for the truth. In this time period in history, all people have a significant historical origin. If we can save just one more person, we will be saving countless lives corresponding to this person's life in other dimensions. Yesterday, the same student came to my office again with two other male students and one female student. We chatted for a short time, and then I turned on my computer and showed them the movie "False Fire," and told them the truth about Falun Gong. This way, they learned the truth and started to recognize the evilness of the wicked party.
Because of everything that has happened in these recent several days, I felt deep within my heart the great mercy of Master. Actually, Master is doing everything and brings all predestined people to us. Since nothing happens without a reason in this world, it is up to us to save these people. We must be worthy of Master's trust, aware of the longing of sentient beings, and the incomparable glory of Falun Gong practitioners in the Fa rectification period. It is not that we are doing something for Master or for Dafa. It is that Master is helping us to establish our mighty virtue. By doing the three things well, we will achieve everything.
