(Clearwisdom.net) I learned Falun Dafa in 2005 and became a practitioner because of the selfless help from two fellow practitioners, A and B. Group Fa study over the years helped me to have a better understanding of the Fa and become a better person. Under the compassionate care of Teacher I have successfully made it this far on my cultivation path.
When I first learned Falun Dafa, Teacher cleansed my body and I benefited physically and mentally. It felt very painful when reading articles about fellow practitioners being brutally persecuted. However, I had a fearful mentality so dared not step forward to do the three things Teacher asked us to do.
Teacher said,
"You're a Dafa disciple, so don't think that the goal of saving people is just for you yourself to cultivate to Consummation. It's not. A Dafa disciple's responsibility is to validate the Fa. Will you not even validate the Fa? When Dafa is being damaged, are you indifferent? The Dafa disciples in Mainland China were killed by persecution from those things--does that have nothing to do with you? You've gained everything from the Fa, while Dafa does not need anything from you in return. But since you're one of the Dafa disciples, if Dafa were gone, could you possibly exist? Isn't safeguarding Dafa safeguarding yourself? " ("Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Students")
Practitioner B was originally a practice site assistant. He was detained but walked out of the detention center with dignity. He left home to avoid being arrested and came to the area where I live. He did the three things well and every week he would have a long list of people who wanted to "do the three withdrawals" (namely to withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party, the Youth League and the Young Pioneers). He also handed out a lot of materials clearing up misconceptions about Falun Gong. He was a great help. When he realized that I did not go out to validate the Fa he shared with me on the Fa and took me with him so I could see first hand how he handed out the materials. Gradually I was able to let go of the fear mentality.
I worked at a school. The education system is strictly controlled by the CCP. Every year a lot of students and pupils are deceived into joining the Youth League or the Young Pioneers. Teachers and students are brainwashed by the CCP, so they all hold great misunderstandings about Falun Dafa.
To save these people we must first expose the lies about the "Tiananmen Square Self-immolation". Teacher H had a minor operation for laryngeal polyps and could not speak for a few days. I talked to him about the suspicious points in the "Tiananmen Square Self-immolation". I tried to adapt myself to the changing circumstances so as to clarify the truth to help Teacher save sentient beings.
In the school environment we must, first of all, let teachers know the truth to form an atmosphere where they can recognize the true nature of the CCP. This reduces interference in clarifying the facts to students. I would talk about the accuracy of some prophesies to prove that the human life wass prearranged by divine beings and humans should not go against the will of Heaven.
I told them about the achievements made in ancient China and about the limitations of atheism. I introduced to them the software FreeGate, which enabled them to browse the websites banned by the CCP. I also taught them how to register their withdrawals from the CCP on the Internet and let them watch truth-clarification materials to eliminate the poison forced upon their minds by the CCP.
What I have done is still far from the requirements and I still have a lot of attachments, such as the attachment to comfort. I have a fearful and self protective mentality, and I don't want to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to strangers. Actually, not being willing to clarify the truth is a manifestation of selfishness. All these attachments need to be eliminated.
This is the very first time I have written to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. I have always gained a lot from reading the articles from fellow practitioners. I felt that it's not good to only gain without contributing. Of course this itself is an attachment that I should let go. As a matter of fact, if we all can share on Minghui/Clearwisdom, we really can reach the state of being "without any energy channels or acupuncture points."
Please kindly help me understand any shortcomings I may have.
