(Minghui.org) Greetings revered Master! Greetings fellow practitioners!
I often find a safe and quiet place in the woods to make phone calls to clarify the truth to people about the persecution of Falun Dafa. A couple of fellow practitioners come with me, and we stay for several hours. We take food and water, and go in the sunny days of fall and spring. During the process, I feel revered Master’s compassionate strengthening. When sentient beings agree to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations, I feel that the sound of “please remember Falun Dafa is good” is the most fantastic sound in the world. It reverberates. The countless Buddhas, Daos, and Gods in the heavens admire the glory of the disciples of Dafa.
I once memorized this sentence:
“When a person’s mind focuses on somewhere in the body for a long time, an energy cluster will develop and form dan.” (Zhuan Falun)
And I realized that the words we repeat thousands of times to persuade people to quit the CCP are just like a powerful energy cluster. Especially when we have a good cultivation state.
The process of making these calls is similar to sending forth righteous thoughts. When I first start to send forth righteous thoughts, my mind is not very clear and clean. But if I keep doing it, the extraneous and distracted thoughts become less and less. My righteous thoughts become stronger and stronger. At last I become completely tranquil. The same is true for making phone calls. At the beginning, I feel quite distracted. But gradually my state of mind becomes purer and purer, and the righteous thoughts become stronger and stronger. I feel like I am surrounded by energy. When I am in this state, 70 percent or 80 percent of people agree to quit the CCP when I call them. It seems that they are totally restrained by our powerful righteous thoughts. They just listen quietly without asking any questions.
Although I obtained Dafa in 1998, I only understood the Fa perceptually at that time. I paid more attention to doing things, instead of emphasizing xinxing cultivation, so I stumbled on my path of cultivation. When I returned home from the brainwashing center in 2005, I was not far from evil enlightenment. Once I rose from the fall and continued to practice cultivation, I reflected about my bitter lessons. I realized the reason I was persecuted was that I ignored Fa study. So I started to pay attention to studying the Fa. I began to memorize Zhuan Falun and have continued to memorize and recite it through to this day. I have felt a tremendous change since I started concentrating on studying the Fa, and I have gained much enlightenment from the book. I want to share some understandings and stories with fellow practitioners.
Sending Righteous Thoughts and Removing Interference
I remembered that when Master’s scripture “Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa” was published, I had one powerful thought, “All lives in the cosmos who want to be saved by me must not interfere with me. I will be rectified by Master’s Fa and upgrade my level, so I will be able to save you in the future. If you want to arrange my cultivation path and interfere with me, you will commit the biggest sin in the cosmos. As a result, you will not be saved and will instead ruin yourself.”
I had a clear a dream a while later: Several practitioners and I were going to be taken away by the evil, but a policeman pointed at me and said, “You can stay here.” I wondered if this dream was related to that thought I had after reading the scripture. But during these 10 years, I have paid much more attention to Fa study and to melting myself into the Fa. I have steadily moved forward on the path arranged by Master, instead of simply rejecting the persecution. So I feel that I can prevent the persecution from targeting me.
Sending Righteous Thoughts to Eliminate Evil in a Prison
I saw a piece of news on Minghui about a Dafa disciple who was severely persecuted in a local prison. I decided to send forth righteous thoughts for an extra hour after the global righteous thoughts at midnight. The prison is 800km away from my home. At the beginning, I worried that I didn’t have the ability to reach the prison. After I purged myself and finished reciting the verses for righteous thoughts toward the prison, several sentences of Zhuan Falun emerged in my brain:
“Therefore, when he succeeds in cultivation in the future, he will get whatever he wants just by holding out his hands, and he will have anything he desires. He can do anything he wants, and there is everything in his paradise” (Zhuan Falun)
“Falun is a miniature of the universe that possesses all of the universe’s capabilities” (Zhuan Falun).
I felt I was gigantic and incomparably tall. My whole body was surrounded by powerful energy. I sent forth a thought, “Let the Falun given by Master multiply infinitely and fully fill into layers upon layers of time-space and even into the whole cosmic body, and I call upon all the positive factors, lives, energy, Fa implements, and divine power to work with me to eliminate the evil.”
I used strong forceful thoughts to recite:
“Fa zheng qian kun, xie e quan mie” (“The Two Hand Positions for Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts” from Essentials for Further Advancement II),
As I recited the word “mie,” I really felt that I had “an air of supremacy and of destroying all evil in the cosmos” (“Righteous Thoughts” from The Essentials of Diligent Progress VOL. III). I felt I could destroy the demons' cave. All the evil was eliminated wherever the gong reached. During the hour, I never felt alone, or weak in capability or strength. I understood what Master said,
“Even with just one Dafa disciple, if your righteous thoughts are strong, the power is enough to split a mountain—just one thought will do it.” (What is a Dafa Disciple)
I also enlightened to the magnificence, solemnity, greatness, and unmatchable might of the Buddha Fa’s divine power, as well as the majesty, wonder and splendor of lives that have assimilated to Dafa.
Helping Colleagues Quit the CCP
I used to work in a large state-owned enterprise. Since I started encouraging people to quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, I have clarified the truth to all my acquaintances and friends. The people who have quit the CCP with my help include several former and current presidents, vice presidents, party secretaries, vice party secretaries, as well as more than 20 middle-level cadres in our company. Even some leaders and employees in the security department, which were involved in severely persecuting Dafa disciples, have quit.
A practitioner from my company gave a copy of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to a supervisor in his department. The supervisor turned the book in to the authorities out of fear. The practitioner was then forcibly taken to a brainwashing center. Since our department used to do business with this department, I knew the supervisor, so I made up my mind to talk to him.
When I first spoke with him, I clarified the truth and asked him to quit the CCP, but he didn’t agree. During our second chat, I told him about the evil forms of persecution that took place in the brainwashing center, the torture that Dafa disciples were suffering there. I hoped to inspire his conscience and show him what was happening to the practitioner, because of what he did. When I met him a third time, I told him the importance of quitting the CCP and emphasized that he should quit the CCP. I can’t remember exactly what I said, but I clearly remember tears streamed down my cheeks while I rode my bicycle to leave. Those tears were for a saved sentient being, who learned the truth and quit the CCP.
Making Phone Calls and Helping People Quit the CCP
I started to make truth-clarification calls to persuade people to quit the CCP after I retired in 2008. I set a goal for myself that I should help at least 20 people quit the CCP every day. Actually it was not easy. I put in a lot of effort and suffered enormous hardships to complete my goal. Last summer, the hot weather (more than 100ºF) lasted for several months in our area, but I persisted in going outdoors to make phone calls every day.
One day the weather was extremely hot. The sun was streaming overhead. I sat with another practitioner to make phone calls under a small tree. We constantly wiped away sweat, even though we were also under the shade of an umbrella. We made calls from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. I took off my sandals after I got home and found that my insteps were severely sunburned in the pattern of my sandals. We went out again after a short break and worked until almost 6 p.m., before going home to send forth righteous thoughts.
It has become part of my daily life to clarify the truth and persuade people to quit the CCP. I have experienced Dafa’s mystical power during this process.There was a period of time when I didn’t want to do anything but make phone calls. I extended the time I spent calling people to persuade them to quit the CCP. It gradually became a formality for me to study the Fa and send forth righteous thoughts. I even felt it was a waste of time to attend the group Fa study when I could be clarifying the truth.
Eventually I experienced interference. Those who quit the CCP became less and less every day, even though I had extended the calling time. Some people hung up the phone as soon as I spoke to them. Some people didn’t say anything even though they listened to me. I complained that those people were not good enough. I didn’t realize that there were problems in my cultivation. One afternoon, I only helped eight people quit the CCP, with great difficulty. I became aware that I needed to calm my mind and study the Fa conscientiously.
The next morning, I read two chapters of Zhuan Falun with a pure heart and found some human attachments generated by insufficient Fa study. After sending forth righteous thoughts toward my own dimensional field for one hour, I went to the woods to make phone calls. That day I helped 61 people quit CCP. The phone numbers I called were the same ones I called the day before, but the result was totally different. I learned a deep lesson that only Master and Dafa can really save people. Only when we rectify ourselves according to the Fa can the power of Fa manifest.
With the progress of Fa-rectification, almost every household in China knows that “quitting the CCP ensures your safety.” When I make phone calls, I often encounter people who say, “Thank you, I have already quit.” Sometimes I just said “Hello” and the person cheerfully replies, “I know what you are going to say. You want me to quit the CCP?” I smile to myself, and sincerely admire Dafa’s power and Dafa disciple’s greatness. Now, normally I just say a few words over the phone, and people agree to quit the CCP.
I have helped at least 20,000 people quit the CCP. I have written nine articles to share my experiences about persuading people to quit the CCP. The sharings have been a record of my cultivation. What’s more, my success in clarifying the truth is a manifestation of Master and Dafa’s compassionate salvation – for me and sentient beings.
Thank you Revered Master! Thank you fellow practitioners! Heshi.
