(Clearwisdom.net) Ms. Hao is over 60 years old and obtained the Fa in 2006. Before she started to practice Falun Dafa, she had severe rheumatic heart disease and wore thick glasses. When she first began to practice, Master allowed her to see pavillions in another dimension. The supreme and solemn scenery made a deep impression on her, and she made up her mind to diligently practice cultivation. After a short while of practice, she felt healthy.
Ms. Hao lives in a small city in a developing district. After she began her cultivation practice, she and fellow practitioners began a face-to-face truth-clarification project to let people know the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
Each morning Ms. Hao would study one Fa lecture. When studying the Fa, she whole-heartedly read it with a calm mind. Sometimes she had the feeling that her legs were gone, and she felt that each word in the book was reflected in her brain. The beauty of studying the Fa was hard to express with words. As long as she was at home, she would send forth righteous thoughts at the top of each hour. After studying the Fa, Ms. Hao would go out and clarify the truth to people. During lunch time, she would go to a fellow practitioner's home, and they would send forth righteous thoughts together. After that, she would participate in group Fa study, and then she would go out with fellow practitioners to clarify the truth to people again.
During the past several years, she has insisted on doing face-to-face truth clarification each day, no matter what the weather was. Whenever she left home, she would bring Dafa bookmarks, CDs and other informational materials that explained the facts about Falun Dafa and the persecution. One day, she persuaded 58 people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Below are several stories of how Ms. Hao clarified the truth to people. My hope is that as fellow practitioners we can learn from each other, encourage each other, and thus save more people and honor our own pledge.
I. Clarifying the Truth to All People, Including Police
Once, Ms. Hao saw four young men in their 20s at a bus stop. A police officer stood not far away. Ms. Hao thought to herself, “Should I clarify the truth to these young men?”
At that moment, she thought of Master's words,
“Neither heaven nor earth can
block my road of Fa-rectification
But disciples' human hearts can”
(“Troubles” from Hong Yin III)
Ms. Hao understood that her own human mentality was preventing her from clarifying the facts and saving people. She walked over and smiled at those four young men and clarified the truth to them. The four young men agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Ms. Hao also gave them informational materials that explained the facts about Falun Dafa. At that moment, the young men kindly hinted to her that there was a police officer nearby and that she should be careful. Ms. Hao was very touched by their kind behavior. She thought to herself that she must clarify the truth to the police officer standing by. If she did not do that, those four young men might think that Dafa practitioners picked only certain people to clarify the truth to, and this would discredit Dafa practitioners. Therefore, Ms. Hao walked over to the policeman and clarified to him the facts about Dafa and the meaning of withdrawing from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Those young men looked on at Ms. Hao with respect.
II. “You Are Really Good People Who Are Saving Us!”
One day, Ms. Hao passed by a bus stop and saw over forty people there. She learned that they were appealing to the authorities for something. Upon seeing so many people, she felt anxious. She worried that she would not be able to save so many people at one time. At that moment, the bus came. She watched them get on bus and leave. Ms. Hao was very worried that she had not clarified the truth to them, and she shed tears. The next day, she and another fellow practitioner went out to clarify the truth to people. By accident, they met the same group of people at the bus stop again.
Ms. Hao was very happy and did not know how to thank Master for such a perfect arrangement. She and the other fellow practitioner cooperated very well with each other. Each of them grasped the chance to clarify the facts and started to speak to people at each end. Before the bus came, they persuaded 13 people to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. When the bus came, they told everyone: “We are doing this for the sake of your own safety. Please remember that Falun Dafa is good!” Some of the people waved goodbye to them, and some shook their hands to express their appreciation. One person was very excited and held on to Ms. Hao's hands and said, “You are really good people who are saving us!”
III. Master Is At a Practitioner's Side at All Times
Once Ms. Hao saw a police car parking in front of a shopping center. Two young policemen were standing outside, talking on the phone. Ms. Hao hesitated a bit.
At that moment, Master's words came into her mind:
“When someone is placed before you, there isn’t a choice—you’re wrong if you become selective in terms of saving people. As long as he is someone you run into, you should save him, regardless of his position or social status, or whether he be the president or a beggar.” (“What is a Dafa Disciple”)
Ms. Hao sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master to strengthen her. The two policemen had already gotten back into the car, with the door almost completely closed. Ms. Hao quickly walked over and opened the car door. She smiled at them and said quickly: “May I take up a few minutes of your time? I am a Falun Dafa practitioner. I am doing this for your own good and your own safety. If you joined the CCP, the Youth League, or the Young Pioneers, I am asking you to withdraw from these organizations. The CCP has done too many bad things. Heaven is going to destroy it. You should choose to withdraw from it, so that you will not perish with it. Thus, you will have a bright future. I wish the best for you. You should withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.” The two policemen both agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Ms. Hao was so happy for them that she shed tears as she watched the police car drive away.
Ms. Hao felt that as long as Dafa practitioners have the intention of saving people, Master will arrange for them to meet predestined people. Master will be near them at every moment and will strengthen their righteous thoughts, so that they will be able to break through the human mentality and fulfill their vows of assisting Master in Fa-rectification. Each Dafa practitioner should work as one hundred people in saving people.
IV. After Listening to Truth-Clarification Songs, People Agreed to Withdraw from the CCP
One day, Ms. Hao clarified the facts about Falun Dafa to six people. However, when she tried to persuade them to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations, they did not agree and wanted to walk away. At that moment, Ms. Hao thought of truth-clarification songs that are full of merciful energy. She grabbed their hands and said: “Don't walk away so quickly. Let me sing a song to you.” Then she sang: “We have fallen to this maze/ Helpless, lost, can't find the way/ Searching thousands of years/ One day Master reappears/ Be saved, be saved/ Please don't miss this chance again.”
After listening to this song, all six people agreed to withdraw from the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Ms. Hao also gave them Dafa bookmarks and informational materials that explained the facts about Falun Dafa. She told them to recite, “Falun Dafa is good!” so that they would have blessings. They happily waved goodbye to Ms. Hao when they left. Ms. Hao walked home while singing Dafa songs. She walked fast and lightly; she felt like her legs did not exist any more and she was floating among clouds in the sky.
