(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa, also known as Falun Gong, is a high level spiritual practice whose practitioners follow the principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance in their daily lives. Falun Dafa has been a great influence around the world for improving people's physical fitness and moral standards.
Falun Dafa was first taught in 1992 and the number of practitioners reached 70-100 million based on an official survey seven years later. The Chinese Communist regime launched a persecution of the practice in July 1999 which is still going on. However, people who have come in contact with Falun Dafa practitioners have gradually realized that the practitioners are decent and kindhearted. Thus, they stop believing in the propaganda and lies from the Chinese regime.
Returning Money and Making the Owner Understand the Beauty of Falun Dafa
Jilin Province- In the summer of 2009, Hao Xin (alias), a Falun Dafa practitioner from Mingcheng County, Jilin Province, was selling oriental melons on the street. A car drove by and a jacket that was torn and dirty fell out of the car.
Ms. Hao went to pick the jacket up. At the same time, a stranger who was passing by went to pick it up as well. She thought, “What if there are valuable things in the jacket and this stranger refuses to give them back to the owner?” She took it from him and saw that there were 4000 yuan in it along with an ID card and a loan note. She realized that the owner of the jacket must have just borrowed the money from a bank. The stranger said to Hao, “We are going to split it and each of us gets 2000 yuan.” Ms. Hao replied, “We will not touch a cent of it. It is a loan. What if the owner gets so distraught he hurts himself? I must find the owner soon.” Based on the address on the ID, she called the secretary of the Moutun Team in Panshi Town and explained what happened. She left a note for the owner to come and pick up his money.
The owner, Youfu (alias), got home and realized that he had lost his money. While he was panicking, he got a call from the Moutun Team telling him that someone had found his money and wanted him to pick it up. Youfu was relieved and quickly drove to Ms. Hao's. Seeing Ms. Hao with his money, Youfu was very touched and could not have thanked her enough. Youfu offered to give Ms. Hao 200 yuan as a reward. She said, “I cannot take your money. You can thank my teacher Mr. Li Hongzhi, who teaches us to follow the principle of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance.” Ms. Hao told Youfu about the beauty of Falun Dafa and the facts of the persecution. She even helped him quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates. From then on, Youfu has visited Ms. Hao every year and has become a good friend of hers.
"I Admire Falun Gong Practitioners”
Hebei Province: Once when I biked to my old hometown to distribute Falun Dafa fliers I ran into an old man and started to chat with him. When we began to talk about Falun Dafa, he held his thumb up and said, “Falun Gong is good and miraculous.” I asked him what he meant, and he told me, “There are practitioners in my village. I saw what happened to them. They used to have many illnesses and now they are all well. Those who were not very nice became very nice after they began to practice. One more thing I saw with my own eyes. In 1999 after the persecution began, a policeman was chasing a young man who practiced Falun Gong in my village. Suddenly the officer's bike broke in half. Isn't it unbelievable? The practitioner had gods protecting him. I truly admire Falun Gong practitioners.”
One day I went into town to get my hair cut. I mentioned Falun Gong when I was chatting with the barber. He could not wait to tell me, “There are many practitioners in my village. I admire them. After they began to practice, some families became harmonious and some who had bad tempers became easygoing. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone in our country practiced Falun Gong? There would not be any fights. I don't understand why the CCP has to pick on these good people and persecute them.”
I told him about quitting the CCP and its affiliates to stay safe. He was so happy and quit immediately. He accepted the CDs and fliers from me, “Leave them here so my costumers can read and look at them.”
Families in China Feel Most Relieved to Have Falun Gong Practitioners As Their Nursemaids
Hebei Province: Many families in China need nursemaids to care for the elderly at home. A Falun Gong practitioner has worked in Hebei Province as a nursemaid for a long time. She has worked for many people and is very welcome. She describes the beauty of Falun Dafa to whoever she works for. Many who know her ask her to introduce them to other practitioners who are also nursemaids.
Many people who are looking for nursemaids specifically ask for Falun Gong practitioners. They go out of their way to find one. Sometimes several families fight for one practitioner because they know Falun Dafa practitioners are reliable and they do not steal. The practitioners are respectful to the elderly and work cautiously to take care of them. The practitioners are healthy, industrious, and do not waste resources.
Many people hire Falun Gong practitioners because they also want to learn Falun Gong.
