(Minghui.org) When I participate in the Falun Dafa truth-clarification activities in Hong Kong I am deeply moved. Many people used to be indifferent when Dafa practitioners tried to talk to them about the persecution, but they now stop to listen, and are interested in learning about the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China. They are no longer deceived by the lies and propaganda put out by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The Power of Compassion
I saw a classmate tidying up the classroom one time when I was in college, and didn't hesitate to help her. She cried. I was dumbfounded by her reaction. Only when I read Master's Fa did I finally understand that it was the power of compassion and Dafa that moved her heart.
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” from Essentials for Further Advancement)
I experienced the power of compassion while visiting Hong Kong.
Whenever the Divine Land Marching Band performs in a parade, the CCP hires thugs who yell profanities at the band members during the entire parade. On one occasion, while they were cursing, I saw a gentleman applauding and encouraging us, “Way to go!” I burst into tears upon seeing how he wholeheartedly supported Dafa.
If we can keep a compassionate heart in our truth-clarification work, we can save more people.
Forbearance
I participated in the Chinese character formation and group exercises in Hong Kong. It took place on a very cold day, and a practitioner joked that the old forces were trying to interfere with us.
We shouldn't be afraid of interference, but pay more attention to how we think and act when confronted with it.
While doing the character formation, I was assigned a spot in forming the Chinese character “Ren” again. I realized that this wasn't a coincidence, and that it must be Master hinting for me to cultivate forbearance.
The “test” arrived soon after I had that realization. As soon as everyone was in their places and the sitting meditation began, it started to rain. Besides the cold, rainy weather, my legs began to feel painful and the CCP-hired thugs continued to interfere with us by shouting nonsense through loudspeakers.
Master said,
“Abundant troubles rain down together,All to see: Can you pull through?”(“Tempering the Will” from Hong Yin)
I calmed down as soon as I remembered Master's Fa, and my whole body became immersed in the energy field.
By clearly understanding and melting into the Fa, removing bad thoughts, and negating interference, I know that consummation is achievable.
An Unforgettable Experience Sharing Conference
The closer the Fa-rectification approaches the human world, the more rampant the evil on the surface appears. Even though it is, in fact, very weak.
The old forces recently tried to interfere with practitioner's righteous thoughts, and damage the sacred Fa conference that was being held in Hong Kong. The police told us to evacuate the building, as there was the threat of a bomb in the building. However, practitioners were unmoved and remained steadfast. More than 1,000 practitioners quietly sent forth righteous thoughts inside the hall. We listened to the coordinator's arrangements, and then quietly moved outside. As we waited outside in the park, we sent forth righteous thoughts again, and recited “On Dafa” together with one heart.
