(Clearwisdom.net) My two children and I began to practice Falun Gong at the same time. We form a small group of practitioners, and we are also part of the larger practitioners' one body.
My youngest son, Xiao Bao Bao, has never attended kindergarten, as I home-schooled him. Whenever I was not busy, I read Zhuan Falun to him, and I also read it to him before bedtime until he could read by himself. Now, he is memorizing the Fa.
He is a smart and well-behaved boy. When I was under surveillance in 1999, he often passed messages and materials between fellow practitioners and me.
I wanted to write this experience sharing to show how important it is to support young practitioners in their Fa study. Although they are young, they can do much for Falun Gong. Both of my children have always worked diligently beside me when rectifying the Fa.
Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts
Xiao Bao is now 16. Shortly after he began to practice Falun Gong, Teacher opened his Celestial Eye, so he often could see scenes in other dimensions. After Teacher asked us to send forth righteous thoughts, Xiao Bao never neglected to do so during the set global times and at other times. There were many evil forces in other dimensions. When one group of evil forces was eliminated, another one appeared. Sometimes, when we were exhausted and ready to sleep, they attacked us.
There was a flag-raising ceremony in school. I explained to my son that the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP) flag should not be raised, as it would poison the people's minds. Xiao Bao remembered my words and when several students who were responsible for raising the flag attempted to raise it, he sent forth righteous thoughts to stop the flag from being raised. As he kept sending forth righteous thoughts, the students couldn't raise it. After some time, these students were out of breath. One of them shouted, “What happened? We exerted all our strength!” Then Xiao Bao raised two of his fingers imitating the scissors, and the rope broke. The students who were holding onto it fell to the ground. The other students burst into laughter, and the teachers immediately dismissed everyone. Xiao Bao checked the rope and found that the rope was really cut as if by scissors.
During another flag-raising ceremony, Xiao Bao used his supernatural power to silence the loudspeaker. No sound could be heard for quite some time with the exception a cracking sound from time to time.
When I was watching television on July 1, the program changed into one that praised the CCP. I was alarmed and regretted that I was still watching television programs. I thought that this program should not be seen because many young people would be poisoned by the CCP's propaganda. I asked Xiao Bao to send forth righteous thoughts with me, but somehow the program continued to broadcast. Then, I said to my son, “Please clarify the truth about Falun Gong to the equipment that transmits the signals and ask it not to cooperate with the wicked party and stop poisoning people's minds.” After being silent for a while, Xiao Bao said, “Mother, they won't listen.” I said, “Let's eliminate the evil forces behind them to stop the transmission of the signals.” We send forth righteous thoughts. After more than ten minutes a miracle happened: The television screen flickered and then the program ceased. Our confidence greatly increased and we continued to send forth righteous thoughts. It affected all the televisions in the area and the program was no longer broadcasted. Eventually, only one or two stations that broadcasted sports or other non-communist programs were still working, so we stopped sending righteous thoughts.
Persuading People to Withdraw from the CCP and Its Affiliated Organizations
Xiao Bao has been active in persuading people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations daily. At the very beginning, he persuaded his schoolmates and other pupils to withdraw. By the time he graduated from elementary school, over half of his classmates had withdrawn from the Young Pioneers. He often spoke to other pupils about Falun Gong. He told me during the summer after he graduated from elementary school, “Mother, during this summer I don't have any homework, so I have time to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.”
Xiao Bao is also playful. He used to be rather involved in playing snooker, a game similar to billiards. But, that didn't stop him from clarifying the truth about Falun Gong. The owner of the snooker parlor and his family withdrew from the CCP. Since Xiao Bao was a regular there, the owner often introduced him to other young players. Xiao Bao consistently won games. After the game, Xiao Bao convinced other players to quit the Young Pioneers and Youth League. No matter who played with him, he always persuaded them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, and also helped their families and friends to do so. Many of the youngsters that had withdrawn from the Young Pioneers also wanted their family members to quit. Xiao Bao told them that they couldn't make the decision for anyone else, as every person has to make the decision himself or herself.
One day after dinner, Xiao Bao went to a park near our home to play. He persuaded a university student to quit the party. That student also wanted his family members to quit, but Xiao Bao told him that they had to make the decision themselves and if they agreed they should meet him the next evening. Upon returning home, Xiao Bao told me about it. I worried and thought, “Will this be a trap? Is that person an ill-wisher?” Therefore, I told Xiao Bao, “Don't go! Maybe there is a danger.” He replied, “No, I want to go. We had an agreement. How can I not go?” However, I could not calm myself down for quite a while. That's when I realized that I still had a mentality of fear. I told myself that I'm a practitioner, so I must take saving people my priority. Finally, I agreed to let him go and meet these people. After he left, I kept sending righteous thoughts and asked Teacher to clean all evil factors that interfered with him in saving sentient beings. He came home within a short time and another family had been saved.
It was always hot and stuffy on summer evenings, so many parents took their children for a walk after dinner. Xiao Bao used this opportunity to persuade the kids to quit the Young Pioneers. He would then talk to their parents to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. By then, the children also helped him to convince their parents.
One afternoon, after Xiao Bao woke up from a nap, he told me that he dreamed of three children that went to their knees and begged him to save their Lords.
I asked him, “Who are their Lords? Where are they?” Xiao Bao answered, “They said their Lords are still in school and live near the park where they often play, not far from my relatives.”
I knew that only my younger sister lived near a park. I told my son, “Tell these children that we will go there tomorrow and have them ask their Lords to be there. We'll go there to save them.” Xiao Bao closed his eyes and then said, “I have talked to them.”
The next afternoon, I prepared some food and water for Xiao Bao and took him to the park near my younger sister's home. We separated and I talked to people about Falun Gong. I persuaded several people to do withdraw from the CCP and Xiao Bao persuaded more than a dozen people. Among them were three kids who also wanted to help their parents withdraw. We told them that they had to ask their parents' permission and if they agreed we could help them.
When we returned to that park again, we met up with two of the three kids that had wanted their parents to withdrawal from the CCP. They said that they shared a strange dream at around noon that day. They heard a voice in their minds telling them, “Get up and hurry up! Go to the park and wait. Someone has something important to tell you.”
During the school holidays, Xiao Bao persuaded nearly 2,000 people, between 100 and 200 people a day at times, to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. He didn't write anything down, but didn't forget a single name—well, he would forget occasionally, but then remembered with the help from Teacher.
Eliminating the Evil to Save People
In order to save people more effectively, Xiao Bao eliminated the evil forces in other dimensions. One day, when he was talking to people at his school about withdrawing from the CCP, he suddenly felt that there was something not right. It was as if something with bad intentions was watching him; however, he couldn't see anything, so he kept walking. Then, he noticed someone coming towards him. This person had a tattoo and with his Celestial Eye, Xiao Bao saw that a red dragon was grabbing the man's shoulders with his two claws. When Xiao Bao \and the man were about two meters apart, the red dragon escaped as fast as it could and the person with the tattoo fell down. After he got up, he said angrily, “Why did you push me?” Xiao Bao then stretched out his arms, showing that his arms were too short to reach him.
The man could see that Xiao Bao spoke the truth. He was really quite far away and couldn't possibly have pushed him. He looked around and couldn't see anyone, so he was rather puzzled. After he passed Xiao Bao, my son turned around and saw that the red dragon was attached to the man again. At once, he went to a nearby bus station, sat down on a bench and sent righteous thoughts to eliminate the dragon.
The dragon's body was in the air and only its two claws grabbed the man's shoulders tightly. The man was unable to walk forward because of the dragon and shouted, “Who is dragging me?” When he turned around he found no one. Then the red dragon let go and the Falun destroyed it immediately. At that moment the man almost fell. He looked around with horror. He still couldn't see anyone except Xiao Bao who was looking at him from a distance. He stared at Xiao Bao with a puzzled look on his face and then turned around and left.
Later, on a different day, Xiao Bao went out to persuade people to do withdraw from the CCP. When passing the railway station he heard someone shout, “Hey, boy!” Xiao Bao turned around and saw the man with the tattoo. He approached Xiao Bao and asked, “Tell me honestly, did you push me that day?”
“No, why would I push you?” Xiao Bao said. The man didn't believe him and said, “It must have been you who pushed me!” The two argued for a while. Then Xiao Bao decided to tell him the truth.
The man was surprised and speechless for a while. Then, he asked, “Is it true?” My son answered, “Yes, it's true. Otherwise, how can you explain your fall that day?” The man rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the tattooed black dragon, “Is this dragon?” Xiao Bao looked at it and said, “It's about the same, but that one was red.”
After chatting for a while, Xiao Bao clarified the truth about Falun Gong to him and asked him if he had heard of Falun Gong before. The man replied, “Heard about it? I've arrested practitioners.” Xiao Bao said, “Please don't persecute Falun Gong practitioners any more. People who practice Falun Gong are good people.” He told the man the principle that good will be rewarded with good and evil will meet with retribution. The man said that he understood and would no longer commit bad deeds. He agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations and asked Xiao Bao to help his family members do the same. Xiao Bao explained that they had to make the decision themselves first, and the man promised to talk to his family after completing an errand.
A few weeks later, Xiao Bao met the man with the tattoo for the third time. I didn't want to let him go out at that time, since he had to take an exam the next day. However, he insisted on going. The man greeted Xiao Bao and told him that he stopped committing bad deeds. For example, one day his superior ordered him to arrest a practitioner, but he delayed action so the practitioner could escape. Xiao Bao was very happy for him.
Miraculous stories like this happen all the time. But, that doesn't meant that Xiao Bao doesn't do wrong things at times. One day he got angry and refused to listen to me. At the time I also became upset and thought that I didn't want to take care of him any longer. But, I eliminated that thought after hearing his dream.
He told me that in his dream I took him to an empty house and then left him there. Several elderly ladies came and murmured, “What a lovely boy. It's really a pity that someone abandoned him here.” I realized that this was a hint from Teacher. I felt very ashamed about my selfishness. If I could not let go of this selfishness, how could I reach the standards of the new cosmos. I stood in front of Teacher's portrait and said, “Teacher, I was wrong. I will never think like that again. Please be assured that I will try my best to take good care of the young practitioner.”
Xiao Bao is now a high school student. Although he now has more homework, he still goes out to persuade people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
