(Clearwisdom.net) I had not been able to achieve tranquility during the sitting meditation recently. My mind was occupied with thoughts of how to clarify the facts about Falun Gong over the telephone to different groups of police in China. For example, what words should be used for those whom I had been unable to persuade to quit the Chinese Communist Party, and so on.
I often see that people don't appreciate the compassion of Falun Gong practitioners when we try to clarify the truth to them. Some of them show a cynical attitude to society in general, while others, including the police, don't want to listen to our truth-clarifying phone calls and even curse at us. I feel that we need to show a strong will, or they will continue to bully us.
I later went to a sightseeing spot to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to tourists from China face to face. I saw that some tour guides would not allow travelers to take the Faun Gong materials. I got angry and argued with three of the guides. The third guide was the worst. He deliberately followed me and argued with me, and looked likely to fight with me physically. I was also pretty tough and told him that this is not mainland China, so everyone has the right to know the truth. Our dispute did not leave anyone with a good impression and had a bad effect on saving sentient beings.
After going back home, I made several calls to police officers in Heilongjiang Province, China, to clarify the facts about Falun Gong to them. An officer condemned me for harassing them, and even said that I could not speak clearly about some key points.
I settled down and looked within. I found my loophole. Yes, it is right to clarify the truth. However, my negative factors drove people to resist me. I realized that fighting and fear are ordinary people’s things and certainly not something a Dafa practitioner should use to stop the evil. What the evil is most afraid of is our compassion and our being solid and unshakable like diamond, which enables us have the wisdom and power of the Fa. Our forbearance shows our compassion to sentient beings and is not a weakness. Our dignity comes from our removing human notions through cultivation, and this terrifies demons and ghosts.
It is the divine who are saving people. Right now, it is so urgent to save people. We need to follow Teacher’s words and have tranquil minds to study the Fa and do the exercises well, so that we can do better in saving sentient beings.
