Practitioner in the USA: My Experiences Making Phone Calls to Save People

September 27, 2012 |   By a practitioner in the USA

(Minghui.org) After I had been clarifying the truth to Chinese citizens on RTC (an online tool for making phone calls) for six months, I began making calls to rescue fellow practitioners held in detention centers, police stations, prisons, and labor camps. I have now been doing this for nearly six months. With its powerful righteous field, I quickly got into the role of making RTC calls. I like this platform very much and join it on time every day. I make calls in order to offer people salvation and sometimes I can encourage 10 to 20 people to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliations.

1. Removing Fear, Attachment to Competition, Hatred, and Jealousy when Making Calls to Rescue Practitioners

I once phoned a police station, but the person on the other side hung up after I had spoken only two sentences. I called again, said a few sentences, and then didn't know what else to say. I was very nervous and afraid. When I called again, I hoped that no one would answer, but someone picked up the phone. I said that persecuting Falun Gong would be sentenced heavily according to international law, and that person hung up. I called again and that person cursed and yelled, using bad language. I felt very uncomfortable and thought, "I have tried so hard to save you, how can you yell at me?" I felt extremely angry and was wondering how such people could be saved. Afterward I thought, "Well I give up. Such evil people should be eliminated." I stopped calling, yet I felt very frustrated. I felt exhausted and I decided that I no longer would make rescue calls and would instead call the general public on RTC.

I calmed down and studied the Fa, and when I looked within, I discovered that I had strong fear, including being afraid of being hurt and yelled at. I also had an attachment to competition, hatred and jealousy. Teacher said in “What is a Dafa Disciple,”

“As for saving sentient beings and clarifying the truth, a lot of people haven’t done it in depth. They’ll say just a few words to people, thinking 'Listen or don’t listen, just do whatever you like. You don’t want to listen, fine!' and they’ll go on to find the next person. In whatever you do you should carry it through to the end, do it well, and if you intend to save someone, then go ahead and save him. When someone is placed before you, there isn’t a choice—you’re wrong if you become selective in terms of saving people.” ("What is a Dafa Disciple, Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 New York Fa Conference")

After I studied Teacher's lecture, I realized that I had many attachments and wondered how I would be able to save others. Compassion is the energy of righteous gods. Employers who participate in the persecution create a relatively evil field for Dafa practitioners. The evil factors in other dimensions are manipulating and using them. In fact, these police officers are the most pathetic. Once I discovered these human notions of mine, I needed to remove them. I also understood that I had to send forth righteous thoughts, because these notions had caused my tension and fear. In addition, they were also extremely evil. Making calls to rescue fellow practitioners is a good cultivation opportunity. Thus, I became determined to press forward despite the difficulties.

2. Saving People with Righteous Thoughts and Compassion, Cooperating as a Whole

Soon, the platform coordinator asked me to do the hosting. Four hosts are on duty on this platform, and we allocate tasks and work as one body. We constantly change and adjust our calling methods depending on the circumstances. Sometimes, one person makes a call while others collectively send forth righteous thoughts. Other times everyone makes calls separately. When we come across difficult calls, we collectively make the call, to demonstrate successful techniques to the newcomers on the team so they can learn from it.

I was on duty in Room no. 1 one night on the platform. Officials from a 610 Office had instigated the arrest of nine local Falun Gong practitioners. We needed to clarify the truth to them, to the Public Security Bureau, and to the police station staff, in order to rescue the Dafa practitioners. I called the police station and when someone picked up the phone, I told him, “You arrested nine Falun Gong practitioners in May of this year. Are you still arresting Falun Gong practitioners? Do you know that punishment of Jiang's group has started? Yet, you still know nothing about it. The persecution of Falun Gong is a major international crime. It is genocide, a crime against humanity. If you personally participated, you bear the collective guilt and are a part of it. No matter who directed or issued the orders, he or she must pay for his or her sin, and you have to bear your share of the sin.”

I also told him that the heavens will deliver retribution, and that over 10,000 people from the police stations and 610 Office system have already died from karmic retribution. “I am calling you now to tell you the truth, and give you a chance to quickly protect yourself. Please write down the phone number, fax, and website of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG).” The other person read the information out loud while writing it down. I said, “This is the contact information for the WOIPFG. Report to them which Falun Gong practitioners you have arrested, and who directed and commanded it. You have to expose the crimes of others, and redeem your crimes. The WOIPFG will testify for you.” I also told him the truth of the “Tiananmen self-immolation incident,” the wide spread of Dafa around the world, and that Falun Dafa is the Buddha Law. In addition, I advised him to remember, “Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance and Falun Dafa is good,” and that he would be blessed. He repeated what I told him and said that he would remember it.

I then told him about the “three withdrawals” (withdrawing from the CCP and its two affiliated organizations, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers) and that withdrawing could save his life. I said that I could help him to withdraw, but he didn't answer. So I told him he could log on to the Epoch Times website to register his withdrawal from the CCP and its organizations. He wrote everything down. I also mentioned that nine Falun Gong practitioners had just been arrested in his area, and that his police station had participated. I said, “You must tell your manager about this risky situation, and tell him not to let the CCP use him. You all will be their scapegoats when the big trial occurs. The CCP has historically been burning many bridges. Did you know that? Over 800 police officers were sent to Yunnan for a secret execution and were shot after the Cultural Revolution. Director Liu Chuanxin from the Beijing Public Security Bureau committed suicide. The WOIPFG has received many letters which have exposed and reported crimes. For the sake of your and your family's future, quickly release the Falun Gong practitioners.” He said, “I know,” and thanked me!

In order to get more information, I called another police officer. I asked him if I had spoken to him previously. He said no. I started to clarify the truth, but after a few sentences he yelled at me, became very rude, and hung up. I called him again, but he yelled and hung up again. I called him a third time and played the truth-clarification recording to him, while I was sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil factors behind him. I felt very sad and asked myself, "Was this really his true self?" He was totally manipulated by the evil. Master said,

“As Dafa disciples, if you can fulfill your missions; if you can, in whatever realm you are at in your cultivation, save the beings that you should save; if you can set free the beings that you should save out from among humans; and if you can fulfill the responsibilities of a Dafa disciple, then you will, upon returning, experience indescribable honor and sense the tremendous grandeur of your cosmic domain.” (“20th Anniversary Fa Teaching”)

Teacher's Fa came to my mind, and I thought that I should help this police officer, who had been deeply poisoned by the CCP.

I called him again, and he again verbally abused me. Thus, I put his number on the platform, and asked fellow practitioners to take turns calling him, while other practitioners send forth righteous thoughts together, in order to completely disintegrate the evil factors behind him. Two Canadian practitioners each spoke to him for over ten minutes. He still scolded, but listened to some truth-clarification. At 10:00 p.m. Beijing time, it was our time for sharing experiences. Practitioners from the second rescue team joined us, and more practitioners arrived. An American practitioner continued calling, while other practitioners send forth righteous thoughts together in order to eliminate the evil communist spirits and rotten ghosts behind him. Listening to the practitioner who was making the call, I recalled Teacher's words,

“It's like sharp swords shooting out together from their mouths” (Hurry Up And Tell Them from Hong Yin Volume II)

We cooperated well as one body and eliminated the evil factors, used supernatural powers, and thus our power was infinite. This police officer stopped yelling and started to quiet down. His attitude improved and he listened to quite a bit of the truth.

3. Studying the Fa and Looking Within to Save More Sentient Beings

Some time ago I reached an impasse when calling. No one was listening to me and I felt very frustrated. I listened to fellow practitioners making calls, and noticed my gap in contrast to more diligent practitioners. They had compassion when saving people, and spoke truly like beings who have achieved the state of a god. However, I had obstacles for several days, was very upset, and did not know how to break through. I also looked within, and discovered the attachment of pursuing comfort, yet my state did not improve. I told myself that I should look within more deeply, and find the root cause of my block. I typed my insights into my computer. For several nights, I looked within and wrote my findings down in the computer. I found an attachment to wanting to pursue comfort, to sentiment – which was hidden even deeper, and the attachment to indulging.

After I found these attachments, I cleared them away from the micro level of my universe. Moreover, I told myself that I am on my way toward godhood, have no human attachments, have supernatural powers which I can use freely, am a Dafa disciple who is assisting Teacher, and want to save sentient beings. After I discovered these attachments, sentient beings were willing to listen to me when I called.

I once had a dream where many people were viewing their exam scores on a bulletin board. I was one of them and had achieved 88 on one subject, and 90 on another one. Both were high marks, but what subjects were they? One was for clarifying the truth, and the other for looking inward. Teacher gave me a hint that I had reached a desirable state in clarifying the truth. Of course, I have to continue to be diligent, and still have a long way to go to reach 100.

For a period of time, I felt sleepy and could not concentrate when studying the Fa. One can imagine that I did not have good results when calling people. Practitioners on the platform shared their experiences about memorizing and transcribing the Fa every day. This inspired me a lot, and I thus decided to transcribe Zhuan Falun. I transcribed six pages on the first day, which felt like every sentence went into my mind. I was full of energy when I made calls that night, and the rate of people answering was high, with almost everyone listening to the truth.

I have read Teacher’s “20th Anniversary Fa Teaching” many times and comprehended only half of it. For example, Teacher told us the Fa about three thousand chiliocosms. Teacher also mentioned this many times before. Teacher spoke about it again this time, thus there must be a deeper meaning. I didn't quite understand, so I transcribed the “20th Anniversary Fa Teaching.” When I transcribed each section, the Fa principles clearly came into my mind. I suddenly understood many Fa principles, which I had not remembered before. I also understood on my level the principle that Teacher talked about regarding the three thousand chiliocosms. As the Fa-rectification progresses, immeasurable and boundless colossal cosmoses have been rectified. Dafa practitioners’ universes are new worlds. The enlightened side of practitioners has infinite power. As the Fa-rectification progresses, evil beings in high levels are being cleared out. Evil beings who are behind evildoers in the human world are becoming very few. Thus, Dafa practitioners could send more powerful righteous thoughts, stating that evil beings are really nothing and can be crushed by a little finger. On my level, I understood the Teacher's words, and the three thousand chiliocosms.

“I regard eliminating the evil as whisking dust away” ("All for This Day" from Hong Yin III)

In the process of transcribing the lecture, I often remembered to be harmonious, which can be seen in my face. I enlightened that not only do we need to be compassionate in our hearts, but our appearance should also be compassionate in order to save people. This is a requirement of the Fa.

I recently felt that I had made a big improvement, and then the coordinator introduced me to more important Dafa projects. I was dreaming that I'd attended an average high school, but was admitted to a prestigious university, and had a brand new elite motorcycle. I enlightened that for every level we increase, Teacher has given us everything we should have for that level. I know that Teacher encourages me to be more diligent.

Conclusion

Teacher said,

“With the things that Dafa disciples are supposed to do, there exists a process that progresses forward. When this time period has passed, it’s over. If then, in hindsight, you find that you didn’t do certain things well, there will be no opportunity to make it up.” (“20th Anniversary Fa Teaching”)

We are now racing against time and are trying to get people away from the old forces, clarify the truth, expose and disintegrate evil, and save sentient beings.
