(Clearwisdom.net) After going through some difficulties, eight practitioners came together to form a study group in 2004.
Seven of us are in our seventies, and we all began practicing Falun Gong between 1993 and 1994. After studying together, we decided to set up an informational materials production site. Mr. Gu, 70 years old, purchased a computer and other equipment. He also learned how to use the computer and printer from others. In no time, he learned the necessary skills required. Other practitioners contributed money to purchase materials. We worked as a team.
As a result, we have persuaded several hundred people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations in a few years.
Xiao Li, the youngest among us, was once bitten by a dog on her way to look for a fellow practitioner. As a result, she bled profusely. She went to see the managers of the company, who repeatedly apologized. She told them that she was a practitioner who follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and she wasn't looking for compensation. She only wanted them to know the truth about Falun Gong. Immediately after she said that, the bleeding stopped, surprising all of the managers. One of them said that he saw her being bitten by the dog, yet she had remained calm. He thought that she was remarkable and was impressed. Others commented, "We are lucky that she is a Falun Gong practitioner; otherwise, it is hard to imagine what would have happened." Another manager said, "I have received some phone calls telling me about Falun Gong. I didn't believe them until now. Your Teacher has taught you well." The three of them withdrew from the CCP soon afterwards.
Ms. Chang has a lot of financial difficulties. She is usually very frugal. She was once invited to a relative's wedding, but was reluctant to go. It was raining at the time and she thought about using the weather as an excuse to not go. Immediately afterwards, she saw two characters appear in front of her that read "save people". As a result, she decided to go to the wedding and ended up persuading a dozen acquaintances whom she rarely saw to withdraw from the CCP.
After studying the Fa, Ms. Chang gradually enlightened to a practitioner's responsibility. She asked her daughter for some money and went to her hometown to talk to people door to door. She only had cold steamed buns to eat and drank from the streams along the way. After two weeks of clarifying the truth, dozens of people withdrew from the CCP.
Another practitioner took a taxi and saw a picture of Mao Zedong hanging in the car. He took this opportunity to tell the driver how Mao had been responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese and it wasn't a good idea to hang his picture in the car. The driver then took down Mao's picture and promised to tell his colleagues to do the same as well. After the driver learned the truth about Falun Gong, he asked to withdraw from the CCP for his whole family. He also accepted bills with truth-clarification messages on them so that he could use them.
At this critical moment of Fa-rectification, practitioners should try their best to save sentient beings while cultivating themselves well. Only then can we fulfill our prehistoric vows and become qualified Dafa disciples during Fa-rectification.
