(Minghui.org) When reading the articles from the 10th China Fahui Internet Experience Sharing Conference, I felt as if I was just beginning my cultivation.
I resonate with what the titles tell us, “Do One’s Best to Meet Teacher’s Requirements; Cultivate and Save People with a True Heart; Cultivate Diligently Every Day; Save Sentient Beings to Accomplish Our Missions; and Reject the Persecution.”
These articles clearly represent Teacher’s efforts and benevolence towards saving sentient beings. Minghui.org has selected the best from the many articles by practitioners and shared them worldwide.
Teacher said,
“A Fa conference is for you to see, as others share experiences, how they have done and to see how you can do better. It’s not for hearing novel things, because you, too, are a Dafa disciple.” (“Fa Teaching at the 2013 Western U.S. Fa Conference”)
I enlightened that Teacher's words are telling his disciples to cherish each Fa-conference and appreciate the experience of other practitioners. Disciples should improve by comparing themselves to others and form a strong one-body. We should eliminate all obstacles that arise from interference by the evil, and more effectively save sentient beings during this final stage.
Saving Sentient Beings Does Not Depend on One's Age
A few articles written by practitioners greatly inspired me. No matter if one can write well or not, every practitioner’s experience is recorded in the historical records of the universe.
The practitioner in the article entitled “You Can Save People Independent of Your Age,” is 90 years old. She took every opportunity to save people day in and day out. She studied the Fa diligently, cultivated her xinxing, and told people the facts about Falun Dafa. She went twice to a brainwashing center to help rescue fellow practitioners, despite her walking with crutches. She banged her crutches against the door of the brainwashing center and warned the guards about karmic retribution, saying, “What goes around comes around.” Many practitioners were released soon after she had been there.
The practitioner who wrote the article “I Finally Fulfilled My Dream to Cultivate” is 94 years old. She realized that the local Falun Dafa informational materials were scarce and practitioners had to circulate them among themselves in order to read them. Knowing that the practitioners making the materials were too busy, she decided to help.
This 94 year old lady learned to make amulets, DVDs, print the Minghui Weekly and different pamphlets at the age of 83. Her small Falun Dafa information materials processing center has operated for over ten years.
She also was effective in telling people the facts about Falun Dafa face to face. People were all surprised when they heard that she was over 90 years old and they could hardly believe it. Some said, “You don’t look that old. Your voice is powerful, your facial tone is radiant, you have no wrinkles, and you walk swiftly. How can you be over 90 years old?” This made it easier for her to tell people about Falun Dafa and urge them to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliates.
Being Eighty-one Does Not Stop Her from Telling People About Falun Dafa
The author of the article “An Elder Does the Three Things Diligently,” is an 81-year-old practitioner. She has followed Teacher’s directions and has diligently done the three things during the past ten years. She never used her advanced age as an excuse to slow down. She and her husband distribute Falun Dafa informational materials and tell people continuously the facts about Falun Dafa. Despite their tight financial situation, they bought an electric tricycle for the sole purpose of distributing Falun Dafa materials.
The practitioner of the article “We Need to Rush to Save People,” is 65 years old. She went out to talk to people about Falun Dafa every day not caring if the weather was good or bad. She talked to everyone she met, whether they were old, or young, male or female. She would first distribute a large bag filled with Falun Dafa truth-clarification materials. She would then tell people the facts about Falun Dafa. She went out on weekends and holidays, even when her father was in the hospital. When she was busy during the day, she went out in the evening and often didn't come home until after 11:00 p.m.
She talked to 20 to 30 people and sometimes up to 40-50 people to quit the CCP and its affiliates daily. She helped about 70,000 people quit the CCP and its affiliates during the past eight years.
Reminder for All Practitioners
The fact that these elderly practitioners could do the three things so diligently and persistently is a reminder and encouragement to all other practitioners, especially to those who are younger and more capable. We need to better utilize our own abilities and do what we are supposed to do.
Everyone who wrote the Fa-conference articles presented different kinds of experiences. But their gratitude to Teacher was represented in the articles “Our Gratitude from the Depth of Our Life” and “We Are So Lucky to Find Teacher.”
I have been moved deeply by the Fa-conference articles and am writing to suggest fellow practitioners to read these articles more carefully. It is very beneficial.
Let us cherish each and every opportunity we come across on our cultivation path and overcome all obstacles, letting nothing stop our cultivation and saving people.
I hope fellow practitioners can all cherish our Fa-conference and strengthen our righteous thoughts through it, and work hard to save more people.
