(Minghui.org) Mr. Liu sells cold drinks outside of our building. He had served in the military and had joined the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Despite my wife having clarified the truth about Falun Dafa to him, and talking him into quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations, he had only a vague understanding of Falun Dafa practitioners.
My wife gave him a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, but he kept saying that practitioners were just too stubborn, even though he was sympathetic toward practitioners being persecuted.
Because the CCP promotes atheism, demonizes Falun Dafa, and continues its persecution of the practice, many people are no longer virtuous or honest, and they confuse righteousness with being stubborn.
Finding Out the Hard Way That Falun Dafa Is Good
One day last winter, I met up with Liu, He looked emaciated and was walking with difficulty. I asked him if he had varicose veins. Walking is tortuous for people with this condition.
He told me that he was going to have an operation in a hospital in Lanzhou City, the capital of Gansu Province.
It was obvious that he was in great pain, so I suggested that he repeat, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He agreed.
When I saw him again, he didn't look as if he had improved. He said that it hadn't worked. I told him that it would only work if he was sincere, and truly believed that Falun Dafa was good.
I gave him two Falun Dafa truth-clarification flyers with stories about people who were blessed after sincerely saying "Falun Dafa is good."
I also told him that in China, where Falun Dafa is banned and persecuted, anyone that stands up for the practice and supports its practitioners, and anyone who says "Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” will be rewarded for that benevolent thought.
When I met Liu again, he was walking just fine. He was no longer in any pain, and said that he would not have to have surgery. He said, “Thank you for helping me.”
I responded, “I have no ability that would have helped you. You regained your health because you held a benevolent thought and were rewarded.” From that time onward, he spoke of Falun Dafa every time I saw him, and he no longer speaks ill of practitioners' steadfast faith.
Rewarded for Accepting Falun Dafa Truth Clarification Materials
One day I explained to an elderly person that smoking harms a person's health. He pointed to his neck and said that his throat appeared to be affected, but he couldn't give up smoking.
He turned to me and said, “I repeated the two sentences, 'Falun Dafa is good' and 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,' and I am fine now.” He then patted his legs and said, “Do you remember me? Last year, you gave me an amulet and told me to say that. Now my feet don't hurt.”
The man, who appeared to be in his seventies, looked familiar. I thought I had given him Falun Dafa truth-clarification materials in the past. I had seen him quite often but hadn't really spoken with him. Today he told me that he had been blessed by Falun Dafa.
I saw another elderly man in a wheelchair, and said to him, “You should repeat, 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.'” He said that someone had already told him to do that some years ago. He admitted that he had forgotten the words and so couldn't do it. He said that a woman had given him a brochure and some amulets. I told him, “You must truly believe what you are saying. It will work only when you repeat it with a sincere heart.” The other elderly person, who had been blessed and rewarded, nodded and agreed to all I said.
I said to the man in the wheelchair, “You said you could not stand without help. When you get home, look at the brochure. Then say, 'Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' If you truly believe this in your heart, you will be blessed and you will be able to walk by yourself. ” He nodded.
Before leaving, the first elderly man who had been rewarded and blessed asked me for truth-clarification materials. I gave him a copy of Heaven and Earth . He put it in his pocket before leaving for home.
