(Minghui.org) The Epoch Times began to register the number of people quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations on January 12, 2005. Since then, I started to record the number of people who quit through my efforts of clarifying the facts to them.
I am over 80 years old, and started to practice Falun Dafa in 1996.
Everything Is in Order
Master said:
“Be it around the world or in China, the state of Fa-rectification is the same. Overall, its progress may appear to lack order, but it is in fact all extremely well-ordered.” (“Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day”)
My understating is that everything is arranged by Master, and what I need to do is to eliminate my attachment to fear and go out to let people know about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
On one occasion, I walked up to the entrance of a police station where three officers were standing at the door. Two of them were explaining things to the third one. I guessed that the third one was the senior officer. After they finished talking, I spoke to this person, who was apparently in charge of the local area. He patiently listened as I told him about Falun Dafa. He then agreed to quit the CCP.
I once spoke to four young men at the entrance of a building, and they all agreed to quit the CCP. Then I noticed the national emblem on the side of the entrance door. I asked them what this building was. They smiled and one of them said: “You talked for such a long time without even realizing where you are. This is the police building. We are all police officers.” I smiled after hearing this.
Five people quit the CCP one time, and one of them pointed to another and said, “He is the head of the police station.”
When I was talking to a lady about Falun Dafa at a market, a group of police came in. They were holding walkie talkies and looked serious. The lady was scared. I spoke to one of the officers, and he agreed to quit the CCP. When I walked out of the market, I noticed many police had surrounded the place.
I often went to a residential area where high ranking officials live. Guards and undercover police were at the entrance. I clarified the facts to them, and many quit the CCP. On many occasions, they told me that they would like to help me if I needed it.
The Purer My Mind, the Better the Results of My Truth Clarification Work
I do the exercises after I get up every morning. Then I listen to Disintegrating Party Culture on the Sound of Hope radio while eating breakfast. After that, I study one lecture of Zhuan Falun and Master's other teachings. At around 10:00 a.m. I go out to talk to people about Falun Dafa, and return home at around 3:00 p.m. On the day we have group Fa study, I go out to clarify the facts and then deliver Falun Dafa informational materials after Fa study.
I do not allow anything but the Fa to enter my mind. I don't watch TV and I don't chat idly with others, so my mind is usually calm. Master gave us the example of a bottle filled with dirty things will sink to the bottom, but if the dirty things are dumped out it will float up to the top. We humans are like a container and absolutely should not accept any bad things. We should devote ourselves to the Fa wholeheartedly. Only then can we achieve good results when clarifying the facts.
One morning, I sat on a bench in a local square waiting for someone. People were seated on either side. I first spoke to the person on my left about Falun Dafa. Once they had quit the CCP, I clarified the facts to the person on my right. This person then quit the CCP. They both left and new people came and sat next to me. I did not move from my seat, and in less than an hour, 10 people had quit the CCP. I understood that Master saw that I had the wish to save people and brought them to me.
I helped 29 people quit the CCP's organizations one day. When I looked at the name list, I found none of them were CCP members, and were only those belonging to the Young Pioneers or the Communist Youth League. So I asked myself why this was, and thought I should help members of the CCP to quit. I got on a bus and sat down. I asked the person next to me how old he was. He told me he was 75. I then asked if he was a CCP member. He said he was. So I clarified the facts to him and he quit the CCP. As long as our minds align with the Fa, we'll succeed at whatever we want to do.
We should not think about anything but saving people, with no negative thoughts in mind. For example, “What if he did not quit the Party'?” “What if he bullied me?” “What if he reported me?” etc. Our minds must be pure to save people.
One time a fellow practitioner spoke to a business owner about Falun Dafa and was pushed away. The practitioner then wanted me to talk to him. I talked with the business owner and had him quit the CCP. Master said:
“I often say that if all a person wants is the well-being of others and if this is without the slightest personal motivation or personal understanding, what he says will move the listener to tears.” (“Clearheadedness” in Essentials for Further Advancement)
Fellow practitioners often ask me to accompany them when they go out to talk to people. I taught many practitioners how to clarify the facts. I thought that the more practitioners there are doing this, the better. Initially, I let other practitioners watch how I do it, or they send forth righteous thoughts, or record the names of those who want to quit. Later, they became more confident in talking to people.
A few practitioners in our area went to another city to exchange cultivation experiences with the practitioners there. We had to wait an hour at the bus station for our ride home. I suggested that we use this time to talk to people about Falun Dafa. Others were fearful, so I did it by myself. Over 20 people quit the CCP.
I went to clarify the facts on the street with a fellow practitioner one time. When I was talking to someone, the other practitioner noticed that an undercover officer was following me. I didn't know I was being followed, and kept talking until the person quit the CCP. Later, the fellow practitioner told me: “The undercover officer walked around you but couldn't get close to you. Later he left. Maybe you had a supernatural power that protected you.”
Master said:
“...after some Dafa disciples are arrested, they are able to maintain an unshakable calm, and they have no fear. You'll see that the old forces don't dare to persecute them.” (“Touring North America to Teach the Fa”)
I realized that a person with great power cannot be manipulated by anyone with less power. One day, I was clarifying the facts in a hospital and a young man followed me. When I asked who he was, he told me that he was a police officer. He followed me while I talked to people. I thought: “Don't follow me. Don't move.” He stayed in one place and didn't move at all. Then I left.
Using Wisdom to Clarify the Facts
Master said:
“Validate the Fa with rationality, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and save people with mercy—this is establishing the mighty virtue of an Enlightened Being.” (“Rationality” in Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I was arrested nine times by the police, but managed to walk away with dignity using my wisdom and rationality.
One time when I was arrested, the officer who guarded me fell asleep. Another officer came and complained that he wasn’t doing his job. Then he left. Suddenly the officer who guarded me stood up and walked outside, so I followed him. If anyone was looking it would seem as though the officer was taking me somewhere. The officer went upstairs, and I walked out of the building. I took a taxi and went home.
Another time I was arrested, I was told that I would be detained for 15 days. I thought: “How can I stay here? Many people are waiting to be saved. What you said doesn't count. Only Master determines what happens to me.” I sent forth righteous thoughts and asked Master for help. The head of the police then called in, and I heard that the 15-day detention was not approved. Thus I was released. Before I left, I saw some new Zhuan Falun books on the table. I took one and walked out of the police station. No one said a thing.
As long as our hearts are filled with Dafa, Master will help us, and the old forces cannot do anything about it.
Continuing to Improve My Xinxing
Since I have helped many people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, I sort of became a local celebrity. There was someone who questioned if I actually did this. I was not moved after hearing that, and considered it an opportunity to improve my xinxing.
I also realized that clarifying the facts is like constructing a seven-story building. Other practitioners' efforts have built six stories, and I happen to be the one who finished the seventh story. Is this my achievement? Of course not. It is the result of all of the practitioners' hard work. Practitioners are one-body. Everyone works on a different project, but has the same goal.
Master said:
“And the time field they use for this is one that’s exceptionally fast, with particles of their gong in all dimensions acting in concert, creating it out of nothing in merely an instant. Yet this is done in the fastest of times possible, so it is accomplished at just the thought of it. Human beings don’t have this ability, so they have to do things manually.” (“Fa Teaching on World Falun Dafa Day”)
Practitioners work on different projects to clarify the facts, but some use it as an excuse not to go out and talk to people. I don't think this is correct. No matter what project practitioners work on, they should still go out to let people know about Falun Dafa and the persecution. Master told us several times to do face-to-face truth clarification. Master said:
“This is especially so for the Dafa disciples in mainland China: each must come out and clarify the truth, bringing it to every field and valley, mountain and hill, not omitting a single area where there are people.” (“Let Go of Human Attachments and Save the World’s People” in The Essentials of Diligent Progress Vol. III)
We should pay special attention to this, as it is the most important part of truth clarification work for practitioners in China.
Recently, I learned that the authorities were ordered to search for practitioners nationwide. This shows that we have a loophole that was taken advantage by the old forces. Now there are approximately 90,000 people quitting the CCP every day. If ten million practitioners come out to clarify the facts, and each helps one person to quit a day, there will be ten million people quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations every day.
