(Minghui.org) I lost my job after leaving the evil place where practitioners were being persecuted. I tried many different jobs. By having a job I could make a living, but it was also an opportunity to meet and save more people.
During the past three years, I worked as an hourly worker, nanny, janitor, waitress, and distributed advertising fliers. I explained the facts about Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, and the persecution to everyone I met. The longest job I have had was being a waitress, which has been seven months.
The restaurant is not only a place of work, but also a place for cultivation and saving people. I truly feel that everything in my life was arranged for cultivation and saving people. Walking onto the path of cultivation arranged by Master is fulfilling and pleasant.
Our restaurant is a chain of three stores. Employees may work in any store as needed. All employees have learned the facts about Falun Gong and withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party and its associated organizations. When we see each other, we greet each other by saying “Falun Dafa is good.” They let their family members and friends know that Falun Gong can save lives.
I am the oldest waitress in the restaurant. Everyone calls me “Aunt” and respects me. When I first explained the facts to them, not everyone accepted it. I didn't worry too much about it and tried to influence them through my behavior. As time passed, they noticed that I was friendly, easy going, and a hard worker. They found out that Falun Gong practitioners were not like they were portrayed on TV, and realized that they were truly good people.
A turning point occurred when Xiao Xie arrived. We called him “little Taiwan.” He came to China with his father and worked in the kitchen. When he learned the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution, he told others in Taiwan about the practice, and that practitioners were very kind. He also saw practitioners forming large words in Taiwan by standing in designated positions. When teachers greeted students, the students greeted their teacher by saying “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” What he said verified what I had told others before. No one has since said bad words about Falun Gong. Per Xiao Xie's suggestion, we greeted each other every day by saying “Falun Dafa is good”. We got along well with each other and business was improving.
It is easy and straightforward now to explain the facts to coworkers. New employees know that Falun Dafa is good, even before they meet me. They accept the facts quickly and withdraw from the Communist Party right away. Many have been rewarded with good fortune.
Ms. Ding worked as a dish washer and is from my hometown. I met her by chance. Our store needed a dish washer, and the store manager asked me to look for one at an employment referral center. Ms. Ding was there and looking for a job. We chatted for less than five minutes, and she was hired and started to work in our store that day.
Ding was a good worker, but had a bad temper. She created many opportunities for me to improve my xinxing. She was a Christian, and every time I talked about Falun Gong, she spoke of Jesus. This was always quite intense, and I sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil beings behind her. She gradually became willing to listen to me. I gave her a disc and a flash drive with information about the practice and the persecution, and she finally realized that Falun Gong was good.
Ding had a stiff shoulder, and her hands were numb and couldn’t be in contact with water. She woke up every morning at 4 a.m. due to pain. I suggested that she practice Falun Gong and she agreed. We both watched the video of Master's Fa teaching in Guangzhou and the exercise video. She could cross her legs for one hour right away. The next day Master purified her body. She had diarrhea and threw up. A few days later, she no longer had pain in her shoulder, nor were her hands numb. She slept well throughout the night, and felt relaxed like never before. A few days later her complexion changed as well for the better.
No one's cultivation path is smooth. Everyone experiences a variety of interference. Ding also had passes to overcome. Her two sons were opposed to her practicing Falun Gong, and her husband threatened to divorce her. She was scared and returned the book Zhuan Falun to me, and quit doing the exercises. I went to see her two sons, and clarified the facts about Falun Gong to them. They had noticed that their mother's health changed after she began practicing Falun Gong. Her husband had also noticed that his wife had become a better person. Thereafter, they all withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, and no longer opposed Ding practicing Falun Gong. One of her friends noticed that she had become more beautiful, and was told that it was due to her practicing Falun Gong. She then also started to practice Falun Gong.
After studying Master's new Fa teachings, Ding also started to clarify the facts. She took me to see her former friends. We told them the facts together and saved many people. One of them became a practitioner.
We have a group of five practitioners. Even though they are new practitioners, they cultivate diligently. From them I have regained the feeling that I had when I began cultivation. Thank you Master for bringing them to me.
I also thank fellow practitioners. As a team, we changed our environment. Sentient beings are waiting to be saved. As long as we do it with our hearts, more people will learn the facts about Dafa. Master has made arrangements and it is up to us to fulfill them. Practitioners who haven't yet stepped forward, please hurry up and do so. It is not difficult to clarify the facts. Your sentient beings are waiting for you to save them.
Our restaurant is located near a park. Many parents bring their kids to the restaurant each day. I always wish them well and remind them, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Most of them express thanks, and I use the opportunity to tell them the facts.
I tell the students to study well in order to get into a good university and find a good job in the future, and to withdraw from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, so that they will have a safe future. I tell pregnant women to recite “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,” and wish them a healthy and smart baby. I use different ways to inform different people about the facts. Most customers are nice and easily accept the facts. For those who are not willing to listen, I also wish them well and hope that they will later have opportunities to be saved.
Thanks to Master's arrangements, I know I haven't always done well. I'll try to be more diligent, walk on the cultivation path Master arranged for me, help Master with Fa-rectification, and return home with Master.
