(Minghui.org) I'd like to report my experiences in recent years to Master, as well as share them with fellow practitioners.
1. Exposing the Evil Allows People to Know the Truth
Master said, “Exposing the wicked policemen and bad persons and publicizing their evil deeds is extremely effective at shocking and restraining those irrational, wicked people. At the same time, by clarifying the facts to the people on a local level it most directly exposes, and generates public awareness of, the wicked persecution. It is also a great way to save the people who have been poisoned and deceived by the lies. I hope all Dafa disciples and new students in mainland China will do this well.” (“Comment on a Student’s Article” in The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III)
After reading Master's comment, I felt I had the responsibility to do this well.
I first found the practitioners in my area who had been persecuted, and I talked with them about their experiences. I asked them to write down their experiences so I could organize them into an article and upload it to Minghui.org. After Minghui.org published the articles, I edited them to be published in our Minghui Weekly .
The practitioner who was persecuted in my city went to the police department and requested to meet with the police officer who was in charge of the raid. The leader of the department had told the officer, “There was a Minghui Weekly just published in the area. You shouldn't attend those raids, it does nothing good for you.” It's obvious that the Minghui Weekly articles are effective at helping to stand up for the Fa.
I also gathered information about all the practitioners I could find who had been persecuted back to the July 20 incident in 1999 and compiled it into a comprehensive document. It was then published in the local Minghui Weekly .
I first submitted articles about the practitioners that live in the three districts closest to me. There was another district that had numerous cases of persecution. One town in that district had 30 practitioners killed in a population of 50,000. If there had been a Minghui Weekly for that area, things wouldn't have been that way. One practitioner said, “They can't do this. If they can't, you should.” I think that Dafa practitioners are one body. Master once said, “In these situations your conduct should always show Dafa disciples' tolerance, kindness, and niceness.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference” in 2002)
I've done 10 editions of Minghui Weekly . I found a local practitioner and taught her how to edit the paper. Now she can do it all by herself.
When I was collecting persecution data, I realized that Master had been helping me all this time. I knew that I couldn't do it all by myself. On one occasion a group of practitioners in another district were illegally arrested. I heard about this on the third day after it occurred. I immediately went to the family who was affected. I also contacted another practitioner who filled me in with the details. That night I wrote the article and uploaded it to Minghui.org around 10:30 p.m. After a couple days, Minghui.org published my article, and I took it and edited it for the weekly edition. Minghui.org sent out the weekly, and all of us downloaded, printed, and passed out the information. Eight days later, people around my area received a copy and learned how evil the police really are.
Master said, “Everything has been prepared, and all that’s missing is for you to carry it out.” (“Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa - Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 Washington DC Metro Area Fa Conference”)
2. Helping Enable Practitioners to Create a Materials Site
Because I have a lot of free time, I took the job of looking for and buying tools for the local truth-clarification materials production center. We typically went to the district mall to buy our raw materials. Beyond these we also needed computers, printers, recorders, MP3s, MP4s, flash drives, etc. After I purchased the MP3s and MP4s, I immediately installed the content and gave it to the practitioners who were in need. If there was a question of quality, I was responsible for fixing it. There were some elderly practitioners who I had to teach how to use it.
Teaching elderly practitioners how to use the equipment took a lot of patience. However, I used to be a very impatient person. I had to teach an 80-year-old who had no knowledge of computers whatsoever. Even double clicking took him multiple times to learn. I went to his house about 10 times. Now he's able to burn CDs, as well as make little pamphlets and the weekly edition. The information center ran into a little bit of trouble before, and he was the one who provided the information. He helped several dozen practitioners who had no information.
There was another time when I had to teach a 70-year-old how to print CDs. She always said that she forgot. So I demonstrated it to her step by step and wrote down the instructions. Now she can print them with ease.
During the shopping, I cultivated away a lot of my human notions. On a day that was very hot, I purchased materials nearly equal my weight. I had a pack on my back as well as one in each hand. Moving in and out of the car was difficult, but I knew it would be nothing since I'm a practitioner: enduring this is not a bad thing; it's a good thing. “The black substance is karma that can be eliminated through suffering; it can then be transformed into de.” (“Lecture Four” in Zhuan Falun)
Before, when I was shopping for materials, I always thought that someone was following me, and that everyone knew that I was shopping for these things. As I continued to study to the Fa, my righteous thoughts increased, and my heart of fear decreased. When I went through a security check, I sent out righteous thoughts: They shouldn't see it and they shall not see it.
Besides buying tools, I also learned to use computer technology. Sometimes I helped the practitioner that was in charge of the Information Center to install software and fix the computer. All of this is because Master gave me the intelligence.
Under Master's guidance, I made it to this day. Now, time is running out, and we must help Master to rectify the Fa.
