(Minghui.org) When reading Master's lectures recently, I noticed the following in “Fa Teaching at the 2015 West Coast Fa Conference,”

“Disciple: Can we print and distribute widely in China the two recent special reports from the Chinese Epoch Times newspaper?Master: No, don’t do that. I’ve read them, too, and they seem to be addressed to those in the current regime. They aren’t written for or relevant to saving people.”

This helped to clear up some confusion. A friend told me he often received DVDs from Falun Gong practitioners. I saw that they were programs from NTDTV. I also know a practitioner who often downloads audio files from NTD or Sound of Hope (SOH) radio network for both himself and his family.

I also did similar things in the past. When I looked at overseas websites, I often saved some interesting articles for my friends and family. Although the topics looked good to me, they did not like them, so I deleted the files.

All these incidents are similar in some way to sharing with non-practitioners information or articles that talk about the Chinese Communist Party's brutality, but they do not directly involve Falun Gong.

What Master Told Us to Do

From Master's lectures, we know that we should focus on the basics when we talk with people about Falun Gong. Most Minghui website articles reflect this.

However, some practitioners are more interested in other topics, thinking these may be a better approach. But when we use this approach, are we following Master's words, and are we fulfilling our responsibilities?

I also used to think that those materials would be helpful to people. However, now I know I am wrong. Just as Master mentioned in the above lecture, we should do things according to the Fa, not our human notions. We must be clear on this.

Our Own Notions

Even if some materials or topics may seem to appeal to everyday people, it does not necessarily mean that we should use them, because salvation is serious and sacred.

Very often, when our thoughts are not clear, they are rooted in human notions. Because we have been using basic information about Falun Gong and the persecution for many years, some practitioners may want to try something new. Even if everyday people like these topics, they may not be saved by them.

The bottom line is, only information related to Falun Gong will lead them to a path towards a good future. No matter what, we should follow Master's words.

Remaining Clearheaded

Master's teaching helped me a lot. From material production to distribution, we should keep in mind the importance of telling people the basics of Falun Gong.

Although the persecution has continued for 17 years, many people are still deceived by the propaganda. Therefore, explaining what Falun Gong is and how the Communist Party has slandered Falun Gong is very important.

It's not wrong to give everyday people things from NTDTV or other sources, but they are only supplementary and cannot replace telling them the basic facts. We should fully utilize the information available on the Minghui website and do our best to save them.
