(Minghui.org) It has been several years since we began to install NTD Television satellite dishes. From installation techniques to promotion, we went from a lack of know-how to technical maturity and success. Now, every village around us has NTD Television satellite dishes.

Each time we completed an installation, quite a few more people would ask us to install a satellite dish for them.

Installation

When W5 (Eutelsat) started broadcasting, a practitioner from another area came to my house to install the NTD television dishes. He gave me a set of tuning tools, including a small TV and a receiver. I did not have any technical experience, but I thought, “Isn’t this Master’s arrangement? Maybe Master wanted me to take up this project.”

With the help of fellow practitioners, I finally mastered the technology and began installing the dishes in practitioners' homes. I thought at the time, “Since it's Master's arrangement, I have to walk a straight path, despite the trials and tribulations.”

In the summer, I sweated under the burning sun. In the winter, the cold weather of northern China made my teeth chatter. Sometimes, the colder it got, the more I went out to do the installations. My confidence in doing installations increased, and I did not feel the cold at all.

When installing the small dish (which receives only the NTD station), I had a thought: “Wouldn’t it be great if NTD could be tuned in with regular satellite dishes?”

Later, this wish indeed came true, thanks to Master's arrangements, and we began to coordinate as one body to promote and install NTD Television for other people.

Installation Free of Charge

My family lives in a rural area. Farmers live on meager incomes. Hence, we install the dishes for free. Practitioners even pay to have the installations done, with the aim of saving people. As long as people can be saved, I am very happy—even if I end up paying a few dozen yuan for the installation.

In order to walk straight the path in this project, I repeatedly studied Master’s teaching to “...get a foothold in society...” and “...get into a positive cycle...” (“Fa Teaching Given at the NTDTV Meeting”). Thus, we tried our best to adhere to Master's Fa.

However, it was very difficult. In the end, we began charging for the costs incurred. For those with special difficulties and a strong desire to watch, we still installed the equipment completely free of charge.

With the progress of the Fa-rectification, coupled with the foundation laid by Dafa disciples' truth clarification, more and more people wanted to watch NTD programming. As the number of installations increased, along with the added maintenance, it became too much for me to handle by myself.

In One Try

Local practitioners formed a group to install the satellite dishes. We shared our understandings of the Fa and cooperated as one body. Those who had cars drove. Those with technical know-how would forgo their substantial salaries to get involved when it got busy. Another practitioner familiar with installation also joined.

Each additional person increased our energy. We formed a powerful body through cooperation. Things became much easier, and each installation was very successful. Thus, our effectiveness in saving people improved. We installed dishes once a month in 2014, whereas in 2015 we did it once a week. Sometimes we did installations two or three days in a row.

With the improvement of practitioners' character and skill, installation can now be done in almost one try each time. We rarely need to go back for maintenance. Under Master's reinforcement, the path of this Fa-rectification project is becoming wider and wider for us.

NTD's Popularity Rises

There was a big snowstorm in the winter of 2015. The road condition was bad, on top of daylight hours already being short in winter. Still, more and more people queued for installation of NTD satellite dishes. Practitioners involved in our project were short-handed.

Thus, we split into two groups of three or four each, with skilled practitioners leading beginners. In this way, we made progress in a timely manner and satisfied people’s desire to watch the programs.

In our area, almost no village is now without an NTD satellite dish. Several village leaders even had the equipment installed in their homes. Having watched the programs and learned the truth, people began promoting us. The increased demand again made us a bit short-handed.

Getting a Foothold and Achieving a Positive Cycle

We need to increase our manpower, and we need fellow practitioners' support. Although we sometimes charge for the costs involved and sometimes pay to get the installation done, our goal is clear: ultimately, we need to get a foothold in society and get into a positive cycle.

NTD Television programs are very effective when it comes to saving people. The truth is lasting, stable, and innovative, and it conforms to the needs of society. Its effect is very powerful in saving one family at a time, maybe even more. Therefore, regardless of our difficulties and exhaustion, as long as people can be saved, there will always be sweetness in our hearts.

Improvements in Character

The installation process is also a process of improving our character. The main attachment is fear. Initially, we did not dare to leave phone numbers. As more and more people had the satellite dishes installed, the impact also grew. Gradually, the phone numbers became public knowledge, and we did not think too much about it.

Anyway, Master is doing everything. Master is saving beings; we are just running errands. Since lawsuits began to be filed against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese communist regime, our righteous thoughts have become even stronger. We think of nothing but to promote more, install more, and save more.

However, personal cultivation is very important. When we study the Fa well and our starting point is righteous, the installations go smoothly. For example, when we arrive on site, the door may be locked, and it will appear that no one is home. Yet suddenly, the owner will return.

When we are busy doing things, slack off on Fa study, and allow our human attachments to become abundant, the interference becomes large. Those who intend to install dishes then change their minds, or their car tires burst.

However, regardless of the attitude of the people, we send righteous thoughts to eliminate interference while clarifying the truth about Dafa. With Master's reinforcement, we successfully install satellite dishes one after another.
